Justice not served at Fort Hood with Hasan conviction

When Nidal Hasan was convicted in Fort Hood shootings some people think it is over and done with. It isn't even close but you won't hear about all the other things that were never allowed to bring justice for the families or for the wounded.

The first issue should have been why he was able to not only wear the uniform he claimed he didn't want to with his clean shaven face he suddenly had a religious obligation to cover with hair, but the fact he was still being paid. Does he have to pay that money back? If so, then where will the money go? How about the families get it?

Next is the position he held in the military. He was a psychiatrist treating soldiers while he admitted he hated them and what they were doing. Was anyone held accountable for that? What happened to the soldiers he treated? Were they given proper treatment? Were they given deadly medications? Were they discharged under personality disorder instead of being treated for PTSD?

What about all the higher ranking officers that kept him on the job? Did any of them have to face the consequences for what he did? Did any of them actually have to face the families and explain how he was allowed to wear the same uniform and treat soldiers he hated enough to want to kill?

I've read just about everything on this man and what he did but not once have I ever felt that justice was served.
