The actions and acts taken by Major Nidal Hasan were premeditated and criminal in nature. In addition to "Conduct unbecoming an officer", he is guilty of Murder, Attempted Murder, and Refusal to follow a Lawful Order, among others. The classification of "work place violence" is denying survivors and victims the Purple Heart. His association with and mentoring by Anwar Al-awlaki, heavily suggests his actions that day were terrorist in nature. He attacked and murdered unarmed service members, on a military installation.
