Army doctors worried that Hasan was psychotic.
"Army doctors worried that Hasan was psychotic"?
Psychotic = he's hearing voices, voices commenting, maybe voices that tell him to do stuff. You know, as in auditory command hallucinations: "Go. Kill. Infidels. Hasan. Right. Now."
No, I am not making this stuff up. This is what psychosis sounds like, is like.
They're worried that he's psychotic. Oh? Are you f*cking kidding me?
And they not only let him keep on practicing, they promoted him?
Who is running the Army asylum?
If someone thinks someone is a danger to themselves or others, one gets to hospitalize them, even against his or her will. At least for a couple of days. Who was Hasan's clinical supervisor? Who was Hasan's therapist? If he didn't have one, why didn't he? This is how they run their psychiatry services? Pretending psychosis will just go away? Would you like a little numbing and avoidance with your homicidal ideation and command hallucinations with a cherry on top?
Cripes.

Yes, this is how they run their shit.
Here is the lj of a woman soldier who served overseas, and now has her mental health in the hands of the VA system. She chronicles the outrages she endures as she seeks treatment, not only for her PTSD, but her physical health as well.
I can't imagine they treat their active duty any better.
