Today, this army wife is mad as hell.
This afternoon I saw an interview on FOX with the Army Chief of Staff, General Casey.
During the Q&A period, every question and answer centered around Combat Stress and suicides among our military.
Not ONE person addressed the FACT that this was an individual practicing his view of Islamic Jihad.
After the press conference, the cameras went back to Shep Smith at the FOX studios. The first thing he said was, “The question on everyone’s mind is, ‘Why did he do this?’”
Why? WHY, you ask??
Let me tell you cowards in the media WHY. Hassan was a Muslim Fundamentalist Extremist. He did it to strike fear and grief in the hearts of Americans. He did it to hurt our military and to further the cause of Islam.
He didn’t do it because he had PTSD, compassion fatigue or combat stress. He is not your average everyday PVT Joe Snuffy.
He is a TERRORIST. He is a terrorist sympathizer. (As indicated by his internet postings.) He is a Muslim Extremist.
And you damn well know it.
Today I am ashamed of our media. I am ashamed of our POTUS. I am ashamed of our leadership.
Those of you who lack the ability to accept and report the truth of this situation are nothing more than cowards who are terrified of giving offense. You do a disservice to the brave men and women who have been killed and injured in your defense.
Stop insulting the solders by implying that they’re all capable of this due to the stress of war. Stop insulting our military by implying that they don’t take care of our troops.
Grow a pair and call it what it is - TERRORISM.
God bless you, Marie!
Maybe if we make up excuses for animals behaving like animals - they will like us and want to be our friends.
You know, peace through weakness.
AMEN. Whatever happened to speak truth to power?
ping to this vanity by an army wife.
What Marie said, “ditto”!
Me too Marie.
I was outraged that the two Washington Admin spinners were sent to Ft. Hood with victims suffering.
AND FUNERALS BEING PLANNED.
Standing there trying to blame the military.
It was an unforgivable outrage.
Well said.
POST OF THE DAY ...
Give em hell Lady!!! Kick their sorry butts. Send this to little shepard boy Smith and tell him what a dumb @$$ he is.
Well said.
Everyone knows that this was a terrorist act inspired by lifelong membership in the middle eastern cult of death that promotes world domination through violence and is cleverly disguised as a religion, but they are afraid of having their own heads chopped off, or being fired from their jobs.
The soldiers were innocent lambs sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.
Mass deportations.
I have yelled at the TV and radio these same sentiments. There are none so blind as those who will not see. They know WHY. They cannot voice their opinions as to why. They cannot function in a PC world. They ignore any references to Islam or Muslim as if it were instant death. WE all know why...............
I couldn’t have said any of it any better.
Cowards... or culprits.
I’m adding this to my Tea Party protest signs. This is an act of terrorism and I, for one, will have the courage to call it what it is.
Free psychiatric analysis too.
He fell into the madness of murderous jihadism. We’ve been trying for years to tell people that orthodox Islam is madness at its core, now here’s an example. There could be no Christian equivalent to it since there is no New Testament command for anything analogous to jihad killing.
Enablers..............
I’m so proud of you and all of the military families who keep America safe and free. I’m just so darn sick of the hyper political-correctness that puts you great people more at risk than you already are. All I can say is that I’m behind you 100%. The current civilian leaderhsip and some of the top uniformed brass are simply not worthy of the fine people protecting this country. Hoping for change in 2010/2012.
Speak truth to THAT power and you had best be ready to be beheaded or worse.
You are 100% correct.
Thank You
US Army 1964-1968.
We need to declare all out war on political correctness.
PC is the most effective weapon the enemies of our culture and country (including leftists in there) have.
Back in the 70’s the military decided that they were going to be politically correct. All of the “Generals” we have now, with a few exceptions, rose through the ranks following that tenet. With an affirmative action, muzzie, POS in the White House, they aren’t going to change now.
never forget that nitwit Sheppie Smith is light in the loafers.... and just a general air-head.
I agree with everything you said. If the military leaders can’t call it what it is, we’ve lost.
couldn’t have said it any better...it makes me sick with all this political correctness crap...call it what it is...black is black white is white...a muslim is a muslim...we need real leaders in this country.......
Before the destroy us completely.
Marie,
This ARMY mom is right there with you!
Though PTSD and “compassion fatigue” are very real things, these are NOT what this dirtbag terrorist was all about.
I hate to think of what kind of tragedy will befall us before the politically correct bs goes by the wayside.
Call it what it is and be done with it.
Political Correctness is a cancer that this country has to eradicate in order to survive. If not the US is dead. One can not have an IDENTITY and PC at the soame time
Well said! Thank you and your husband for the sacrifices you make for us.
God bless.
THERE IT IS.
You GO, girl!!!!
Hear, hear!
It is known he made pro-suicide bomber statements online months and months ago and nothing was done. He was disciplined for preaching Islam to his patients who were returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
He yelled Allahu Akhbar as he gunned down those soldiers.
And they blame stress.
People this is appeasement, this is dhimmitude, this is going to encourage more such attacks. We are in even more danger as a country because of this.
GORILLA, WHAT GORILLA? In here? With us?
Yes, a few minutes of “Doctor” Phil last night was enough to switch to watching High Noon on TCM instead.
Well, until the people at the top speak plainly.......
America’s anger is real and those willingly avoiding the facts are doing us more harm than good.
Bravo Marie! Send this to all the news stations and congress....none dare call it terrorism.
Roe Conn, yesterday on WLS AM Chicago drive time, said, "Let be the first to call this terrorism."
I had always regarded him as ideologically neutral, i.e. having no particular axe to grind, but during the presidential campaign, I accused him in my own mind of "drinking the kool-aid", as he seemed to lean towards Obama. He commented on the air that listeners were accusing him of this, but he denied it.
Anyway, he came up the straight-shooter of old on this one.
I am furious. This is how they are going to sweep it under the rug?
And there you have it. Bless you for calling a spade a spade. I too am sick of the cowardliness that goes on when people are too afraid to speak the truth or do something about it.
Thank you, Marie!
Outstanding thread.
Few things on earth can shame a man as much as a woman calling him a coward. (It’s not for nothing that Spartan mothers told their sons, “Come home with this shield or upon it.”) When women once again understand this, men will once again stand and fight.
Thank you for posting this.
You’ve got it.
Sadly, the military knew of this guy for some time as well, and they too will likely do whatever is necessary not to be fired from their jobs. Don’t be surprised if this terrorist doesn’t come out of his coma.
They are not "our" media, as they prove again and again.
They are the DNC's propaganda wing. If they are dominating the discussion with chatter about "stress" and military suicides, as if twelve soldiers just suicided themselves, then you know that is the line being handed down from the White House gang.
He is a TERRORIST. He is a terrorist sympathizer. (As indicated by his internet postings.) He is a Muslim Extremist. And you damn well know it.
You are right on the money.
Those of you who lack the ability to accept and report the truth of this situation are nothing more than cowards
In my opinion, they are sold out. As in, "sold-their-souls-to-the-devil" sold out.
Good post.
I was ranting about this to my mom this morning and she said, “Why does it matter what we call it?”
It matters because this PC BS is an insult to every service member who steps up to the plate. To keep repeating, “How sad! And this was done by one of our own...” is crap.
He was NOT one of our own. He was a traitor and a terrorist. Period.
These jerks must STOP IMPLYING THAT THE MILITARY DID THIS *TOO* HIM!
(By the way, I *love* your screen name!)
