(Washington, DC) -- Doctors overseeing Major Nidal Hasan's medical training at Washington DC's Walter Reed Army Medical Center frequently discussed their concerns about his proselytizing and other behavior.

The Los Angeles "Times" reports the problems led the doctors to question Hasan's fitness for military service.

Despite the concerns, no action was taken in the months before Hasan was transferred from Washington to Ft. Hood, Texas.

Hasan is suspected of opening fire last week on military and civilian personnel at Ft. Hood, killing 13 and wounding dozens of others.

An unidentified Pentagon official, who is familiar with the case, said Hasan's behavior was discussed during monthly meetings of top training officials at Walter Reed and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.

The official said Hasan's name often came up during the discussions because of his sometimes aggressive and argumentative behavior.

Supervisors of the residency program reportedly received complaints about Hasan's preaching about Islam to patients.

The official said Hasan was reprimanded and told that his job was to treat patients, not indoctrinate them about religion.

It was also reported on Wednesday that supervisors questioned whether Hasan was psychotic and whether he was mentally fit to be an Army psychiatrist.
