Reply #83: Mr. Hasan is just another Charles Whitman. He is NOT a CO! [View All]

[BrightKnight]

There is a long generally honorable and at times heroic tradition of conscientious objectors.

Conscientious objectors do not go on shooting sprees. They do not shoot an unarmed pregnant women multiple times.

Mr. Hasan never filed for CO status.

As a doctor and a Major there is no way he would be doing any kind of fighting. Conscientious Objectors are often given medical jobs.

He was pushing for a release before they decided to send him to Afghanistan.

If he had taken an interest in doing his job his Commanding Officer might have found a way to keep him.

He did not have a problem letting the Army pay for his education even when he was writing this paper.

He is just another Charles Whitman and I do not buy his BS.
