First, I feel awful about this it is as bad as the school yard shootings.
I have watched with some disgust as the much of the media has tiptoed around the elephant in the room (especially early in the reporting). The Major is a devout and evidently religious Muslim.
I watched this ex-JAG officer get pummeled on Larry King yesterday for suggesting that his religion played a factor. the JAG officer discussing his views here .
One of his main points was that as Major he out ranked 95% of the soldiers, and as doctor he would have even higher status. The JAG finds it unlikely that he suffered much in the way of harassment.
Question for you vets. How likely is it that Hassan, would not pose for photos with woman, be harassed? On one hand I'm thinking of Major Frank Burns from MASH, on the other hand he had only been base 4 months, and I don't think hazing is common in the medical field outside TV sitcoms.
