This man's name is being reported two different ways: Malik Nadal Hasan and Nidal Malik Hasan.
His cousin said on Fox News, that he was not a Muslim convert. He was born in northern Virginia and was born Muslim. His name was his birth name. He is a psychiatrist, and has spent most of his 12 years in the Army in Washington, D.C. He tended to our wounded there at Walter Reed Hospital, completed his internship, residency and a fellowship. there, and was at Walter Reed for 6 years.. He received a poor job performance review while at Walter Reed. According to the Pentagon, he had never been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. He was to deploy to Afghanistan and he made it known that he was upset about that.
The cousin, in a phone conversation with Shep Smith said Hasan was educated and making a 6-figure salary.
This from a Fox military analyst:The U.S. Army and American taxpayers paid for his complete education.
From ABC: "...he completed a fellowship in Disaster and Preventative Psychiatry at the Center for Traumatic Stress there. In otherwords, this cretin was treating the most severely of our military.
