Soldier shoots soldier, very bad and handled internally as quietly as possible.
Soldier shoots local national, very bad and international incident.

After reading the headlines today about the US soldier who shot up Afghanistan civilians, I couldn’t help noticing an irony. There is all this clamor to try SGT Bales quickly and execute him, never mind his having suffered a traumatic brain injury. Yet this Major Hasan, who shot up Fort Hood while screaming Allah akbar, still hasn’t stood trial, and they are still debating whether he was insane, even with the clear evidence regarding his motive: slay as many infidels as possible.

So we have a guy in a war zone who cracks, and he must be executed immediately. But this Muslim psychiatrist who was stateside in a nice safe office all day murders 13, wounds 29 of our own guys, and they try to argue the poor lad suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome, from listening to real soldiers who had actual battle experience. Two and a half years later, they still haven’t tried the murderous man.




There was plenty of clamor to try Hassan and execute him too. The only difference between the two on these subjects is that Bales hasn't had as much time pass yet as Hassan. Bales won't go on trial any time soon either, so he'll be equal to Hassan in that as well eventually.

Hence, article = stupid.
