Hasan was a Field Grade Officer. Unless the Army had him on some kind of special contract to pay for medical school, he could resign whenever he wanted.
Only enlisted soldiers are under contract for a specific term of service.
Correct (about med school). One article stated, "Major Hasan could not leave the army, which had paid for his education, without fulfilling his obligatory years of service. He allegedly hired a lawyer to help him find a way out of the military but could not."
