Base commanders should rethink their policy. This war will last a long time, and it doesn't have front lines.

Americans in general should rethink their policies. We have millions of Moslems living in our midst and, by their own admission, “only” 10% are jihadist fanatics! It’s time for Israeli-style open carry.

I have been wondering if the Hasan could be gay, and that was the real source of his problems.

Yes this has been the subject of discussion around my house. You had a building full of combat-tested heros, yet the only hero discussed by the MSM is the female police officer and her partner who arrived at the scene and SHOT BACK after recieving fire. They are hailed as the heros only because they were the only other ones armed besides Hassan. If the veteran victims were armed, Hassan would have been riddled with bullet holes and the two cops would have arrived in time to fill out the reports and instead of getting shot they would have maybe gotten a few paper cuts.

What recent President enacted this policy of unarming military bases to eliminate accidental shootings?
I can’t find the answer for my wife who mentioned Michael Savage was going to a piece on this, but she missed it.

Those innocent American soldiers were sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.

There are hundreds of reasons why a person could be denied enlistment in the military. Membership in certain groups is among those reasons.

These banned memberships are there for national security reasons. Similarly the military won’t enlist someone who professes to be a conscientious objector.

Why on earth do we permit people with extreme Muslim viewpoints to either enlist or remain in the service? Are the commanders afraid of repercussions? According to US Law service members can not sue the government for ANYTHING. That would include discrimination.

I recall there have been a few such instances of Muslims shooting soldiers (can’t say they shot “fellow” soldiers because the Muslim offender was never there to be a soldier for the US).

Isn’t it time we start looking closely at some of these outlandish beliefs and weed them out. Most certainly stop enlisting them!

As I read the stories about this Hasan guy - he completed his schooling BEFORE 9/11/01 - that was 8 years ago. His payback for his education was way over! A couple choices exist - outright refuse to deploy, resign your commission, go to Canada, go awol, or just stay home.

Despite what the media is saying this guy had no other reason except his Muslim beliefs to do this.

What a hoot watching the MSM trying to spin this as having nothing to do with Islam.

Who are we gonna believe...NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, The NYTIMES and WAPO...or our lying eyes?

These people really, really, think we are stupid.

MSM=Pravda.

Well, the military rolled over and played dead when blacks fragged officers in Nam-hundreds of incidents of that, as well as black “sailors” attacking sleeping white sailors on board numerous ships back it the day (USS Kitty Hawk, USS Hassayampa, anyone?). Get a few Vietnam vets together and ask them about “Kumbaya”. Now the military has got on board the diversity train. Bent over and spread ‘em. No problems-or at least none you’ll ever hear—out of sight out of mind.

Even before, when black units turned tail and ran in Korea (anyone remember Lt. Leon Gilbert, or the “Deuce-Four” -24th Infantry Regiment, or the “Bug Out Boogie?—no?)we’ve moved the goalposts and lowered standards across the board. And hey, in the draft dodger Clintoon years, they issued revisionist history 40 years later making it all a nice fairy tale instead of the bad old truth.

We have many outstanding servicemen and our technology is awesome. But the PC virus has infected our military. If they can’t straighten these things out, who the hell can? One media wanker was saying the other night, in so many words: “We have to face it-we’re going to see more of this in the future, and better reconcile ourselves to the fact”

It sure was a good country while it lasted.
