WASHINGTON — A Pentagon investigation into the Nov. 5 rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, that killed 13 soldiers and injured 32 others concluded that the Department of Defense’s policy on carrying personal weapons on military bases was “inadequate” and that communication between the FBI and the military was “inconsistent.”
None of the 26 actions Defense Secretary Robert Gates authorized as a result of the investigation, however, directly addresses why the Army sent a disgruntled Army doctor to Fort Hood to deal with the mental health of soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan even as fellow Army doctors questioned his abilities as a doctor and charged that he was aggressively urging patients and fellow doctors to convert to Islam.
