I was looking over this "Official Military Record" provided by the Pentagon so easily to the press the day after the shooting, and it seems to be missing something very important.  

WHY DID THE U.S. ARMY COMMISSION NIDAL HASAN AS A PSYCHIATRIST IN 1997 WHEN HE HAD NO POSTGRADUATE DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY?

Not all the information is being released about Fort Hood:

I wonder if "Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan" really is "Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan" .

Is the poster below suggesting that Hasan didn't have weapons at his disposal already? Your point seems very left field and off topic here.
