This is one of the best rants I've heard so far on the failure of political correctness surrounding Maj Hasan. It's from a Libertarian talk show host, and I think you'll agree with it and find it entertaining: http://blog.timdoctor.com/2009/11/10/one-flew-over-the-turban.aspx

Modern Day Trojan Horse by Sam Solomon & E Al Maqdisi, published by ANM (www.Adnamis.org)

Do we have to believe this? Wake up Western World!!!!
Don’t put such a tragedy as the Ford Hood massacre away as a single event, look at the big picture of “da’wa” ( the Islamic call to establish an Islamic state or political power base and to spread Islam.) We need to know about “Al Hijra” (the Islamic Immigration charged and binding to all Muslims)

Vast,

The the context of his obligations as a military officer and the provisions of the UCMJ that govern his behavior, they very well may have been.

At the very least, the comments seem to indicate that he was not the type of person that was well suited to being a member of the military.

Why these comments went unaddressed is a question that demands an answer

Islam is not why this man committed this act. His extremism, which can be found in almost every religion, is part of it. Speech and rhetoric, even when derogatory of the US is not criminal.

Political correctness. People tip toe around religious, racial, and gender issues for fear of themselves being labeled. You criticize how Israel killed more Palestinian civilians than militants in the last major clash, and used controversial weapons like White Phosphorous, and you get called an anti-semite. You say affirmative action is unfair and people should be hired based on skill and not race, and you get called a racist. It’s no wonder people are apathetic and find security in keeping quiet.

Fact: Had Major Hasan been an enlisted man with the same vocal opinions, he would have been discharged long ago. This is a case of inconsistent application of military discipline.

We will refuse to learn the obvious lessons from this, as usual. Islam is a religion with a complete political system that does not brook dissent–you are not to question Sharia and the Koran. So a serious practicing Muslim cannot consider himself an American first–he is first a part of the Ummah, sworn to bring those ouside the house of Islam into it either by conversion or the sword. I served 20 years in the USAF, and worked w/ some Muslims, but they were not fundamentalists. They were like Catholics that support abortion–they took what they liked from their religion, while ignoring the parts they didn’t care for or agree with. Only the blind will be surprised by this latest shooting. If we can’t sort out the radicals from the “moderates” (who we are still trying to identify), then Muslims should be barred from military service. That would solve the problem–but we don’t have the political will to do it–and I imagine the comments that follow mine will point to this, as well as expressing outrage at the suggestion, and contain some hints at racism on my part just for good measure. And so we will buy more of the same.

Now if only he’d been Gay, instead of a Muslim Jihadi, he would have been separated long before now, as a “threat” of some kind.

I think we have our priorities wrong here.
