Sounds like these “Soldiers” could be part of the 09L program. It's a stripes for skills program where the Army offers SGT (E-5) stripes to people who have certain skills such as the ability to speak and read certain languages with a 3/3 proficiency.

We had a group at Ft. Huachuca and they put up a web site trashing the Army and a whole lot of other shenanigans. They were up to no good but got by because of Army political correctness.

Did something happen today that made them feel like it was a good time to tell the public?

“I just heard this on FOX- posted it to the Threat Matrix thread.”

Per the media... “This was an alleged “WIDE SCALE FOOD POISONING of “Alleged US troops Allegedly attempted” and it allegedly occurred at “Ft. Jackson, SC”, Allegedly by alleged Muslin alleged translators.

We must be sure not to be accusatory.

We have to wait until the perps are read their rights, given an attorney, put on a show trial, found guilty (unlikely) and given the obligatory slap on the alleged wrist before being let go to walk among us! Oh, we have to give them lifetime health care and college scholarships.

“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse,” Casey said.

The ongoing probe began two months ago, Chris Grey, a spokesman for the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, told Fox News.

The Army is taking the allegations “extremely seriously,” Grey said, but so far, “there is no credible information to support the allegations.”

Aw schucks, just another incident of someone unhappy with the menu. Happens all the time in restaurants. Move along, nothing to see here.

That should guarantee them great jobs for life.
In or out of the service.

CBN Exclusive: Five Muslim Soldiers Arrested at Fort Jackson in South Carolina

CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas and are in custody. The five men were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.

The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.

A source with intimate knowledge of the investigation, which is ongoing, told CBN News investigators suspect the “Fort Jackson Five” may have been in contact with the group of five Washington, DC area Muslims that traveled to Pakistan to wage jihad against U.S. troops in December. That group was arrested by Pakistani authorities, also just before Christmas.

Coming as it does on the heels of November’s Fort Hood jihadist massacre, this news has major implications.

Stay tuned to this blog for more details.

Maybe somebody on the inside got fed up with the failure to report this and threatened to blow the whistle so they decided to do it first. Just a thought.

“I ran mess halls preparing a half a million meals in the Army Guard and Reserve and no one ever claimed to have gotten sick”

No jokes here, but you of all people know the challenge of making sure procedures are followed to prevent bacterial food poisoning. The cruise industry seems to have to relearn these procedures every few years. As to intentional food poisoning, it would be interesting to see what these fellows were supposed to have used (heavy metal, organic toxins such as pesticides etc.)

I’m sure the military already knows what was used. Interesting that it isn’t done more often as even water supplies are definitely a vector of attacks per Al Qaida. Surprising that food hasn’t been touched upon to a great extent.

"The only thing I ask is NO Mess Sargent jokes. I ran mess halls preparing a half a million meals in the Army Guard and Reserve and no one ever claimed to have gotten sick."

Yep. Our cooks never made us sick. There was only bad hot field chow once for three companies, and that was some kind of ration...T-rats? ...don't remember for sure what kind of ration the chicken came in. Anyway, that wasn't our cooks' fault. They did everything by the manuals, and that's far more sanitary than civilian restaurants. They worked in field conditions with us and took good care of us. We'll probably not forget them in our lifetimes.

Casey was an idiot for saying that diversity is more important than lives.

But, the United States of America is a free country...so how do we handle this?

[Palladin]

...and Casey takes all his meals off base, at very expensive restaurants, where lobbyists from Lockheed and Boeing pick up the tab.

Get rid of this Perfumed Prince!

And as someone else pointed out (forget who, sorry) - if they're translating intel, who says they told us everything? But then againmaybe they are in sort of basic training, so maybe they don't have access to real time intel. BUT:

I remember we had some Iraqis/Afghans involved in our training at FT Riley. They were role playing as locals we had to negotiate with to convince them to give us cooperation in being in their "neighborhood" while in country.

In real life, they lived in the hut next door to mine all during the training. I suspect they didn't enjoy our late night drinking and card games on the picnic table on weekends, but they never poisoned our BBQ.
