Allah Akbar are not words you'll ever hear uttered by a good old fashioned gay soldier. Nor will you have ever heard that a gay soldier just "snapped", after enduring a lifetime of unprovoked hatred, discrimination, and harassment, and massacred fifty (50) of his fellow American soldiers. For that matter, I've never heard of a jewish soldier or black soldier , unaffiliated with Islam and their good old jihadist battle cry, ever "snap" after suffering from a lifetime of prejudice, bigotry, and physical abuse, and slaughter his or her fellow soldiers.
Dwight Eisenhower and George Patton would be turning over in their graves if they heard that Gen. Casey say he'll sacrifice the lives of soldiers in the U.S.Army for having the greatest diversity of race, creed, and religion, (not gay, however) within it's army, regardless that we have been fighting Islamic and muslim extremists since long before Sept. 11, and despite the fact that Al Qaeda, the Taliban, all Jihadists, and a host of other followers of Islam, are bent on death and destruction to America, as well as an end to Israel as a country and Jews as a civilization. But I think "don't ask don't tell" seems to be the most politically expedient way to address an overlooked, under appreciated portion of our military, the gay soldiers who have served our country, from the time it was founded, regardless of their personal sexual preferences. They attended the same churches and synagogues as did the non gay people. They never called Al Qaeda or anyone else that plots against the U.S. on a daily basis. But the utter insanity of discriminating against our gay soldiers , while using every stupid, inexcusable defense, to find any reason other than the very obvious fact that our American soldiers were slaughtered by a muslim extremist terrorist employed by the United States Army. Fake P.T.S.D.'s and sudden snaps are make believe excuses for what transpired. Joe Klein's immediate take was that Jews were responsible for the odious outcry against Hasan. That's it Joe, the Jews made Hasan so angry, which made him snap and praise Allah before massacring American soldiers, men, women,pregnant, otherwise. This on the heels of his reverance of AlQaeda and his fanaticism of Allah. Evan Thomas' wishing Hasan was anything but a muslim makes me yearn for the days oh Henry Luce. The N.Y. Times, Time and Newsweek are shells of the newspaper and magazines they once were. Chris Matthews asking what exactly was it that Hasan do wrong when discussing the fact that Hasan tried repeatedly to communicate with Al Qaeda.
It's difficult enough for me to comprehend how can it be possible that gays can't marry if they so choose. Sure seems like a religious thing that keeps causing the attempts to legalize it to lose at the ballot box. Why else? Not really anyone else's business. Not fair to be denied ability to marry because other people are against it. Then they don't have to do it. I'd be much more concerned with a couple of heterosexual jihadists living among us in the United States. Call me crazy. Our legislature was close to banning it completely so I guess the states have to keep educating those opposed on anything other than religious grounds, but I think those are far and few between, and get more than 50% of the voters of their state to agree.
Amazing to me why this is not an inherent right in our secular world. Gen. Casey is more worried that the ACLU and/or some other civil, muslim, arab organization or United Nations will frown on the United States should the safety of all the soldiers take preference of the need for diversity than the safety of our Armed Forces. How Hasan was allowed to remain in the Army, let alone be left at Ft.Hood must be a wake- up call for our military in general, and the United States Army. The last thing this country needs are apologists and those in denial both in government, military and the media , our Fourth Estate, there to supposedly protect our country and to supposedly report the news.
Our world wide enemy, who happen to exist in the U.S.Army, are Islamic and muslim extremists. They are real. They are terrorists. That requires that we be extraordinary careful with our handling of muslims that happen to be either seeking to enter or already in the United States military. This is not a difficult decision given what is at stake, is the health, safety, and welfare for all Americans, peaceful muslims included. The present is the absolute wrong time for political stupidity otherwise
known as correctness.
