Learning the Wrong Lessons From the Fort Hood Massacre

Submission to Islam has been institutionalized by our national security apparatus. The official handling of the Fort Hood massacre proves the case.

On November 5, 2009, Major Nidal Hasan, a U.S. Army psychiatrist who had previously served at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, shot 45 of his fellow soldiers at the deployment center at Fort Hood in Texas, killing thirteen. It was the most deadly shooting attack ever on an American military base. Maj. Hasan, who had been scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan, was charged with murder and attempted murder, but not terrorism. His court-martial will begin next month. Meanwhile, Maj. Hasan continues to receive military pay, as well as free medical care and legal representation from the Army.

Immediately after the shootings, President Obama called Hasan's actions "inexplicable" and suggested that he may have "cracked" under stress. The media followed suit, emphasizing the stress of treating soldiers emotionally scarred by war, and insinuating that Hasan had been unfairly picked on by his colleagues. One talking head said "we may never know if religion was a factor" in the killings. Another lamented that Hasan had failed to "reach out for help." In reality, Hasan had long exhibited bizarre, menacing behavior that would have gotten him kicked out of the Army several times over if not for his protected status as a Muslim. The sympathetic disinformation was intended to hide Hasan's actual purpose -- to kill as many infidel American soldiers as possible for Allah.

Thanks. Maybe I’ll repost it in the “Oscars” thread....

EXCELLENT article. I’ve been waiting for someone to tell us more about that loser Hasan. Great job Mr. Swett.

Ouch.

Make that 14 killed. They always ignore the baby.

According to testimony at the Article 32 hearing, the mother's last words were "My Baby My Baby".

RumInt picked up around the area, says that the same bullet killed both of them.

One talking head said "we may never know if religion was a factor" in the killings.

You'd think the killer yelling "Allahu Akbar" as he shot soldiers, medical personnel and an unborn infidel, would have been a wee bit of a hint.

Ijits.

Why hasn’t this POS already been tried and sent to a firing squad is beyond me.

One reason is we don't firing squads anymore.

More's the pity, I not too long ago read the last manual for execution that did allow for firing squad or the rope.. Very enlightening. It did not cover death by the Big Sleep.

Although I'd have to stand in line, I'd volunteer for that squad, or to push the plunger on the syringe hooked to his IV.

As to why they haven't had the Court Martial yet, I don't know. But for now he's resting in the medical section of the Bell County jail, since the stockade at Ft. Hood doesn't have facilities for paralyzed prisoners.

Of course! We mustn’t offend tender Muslim sensibilities. < /sarcasm >

“Let me add: in a combat zone...

Excellent but digusting point. Members of our military are given monumental tasks to perform and are required to do so with an anti-military media more than willing to fabricate lies regarding the conduct of those brave, honorable and competent men and women. Members of our military are executing missions on a daily basis that would make the members of the media wet themselves if they were placed in real combat.

It IS a disgusting point. I certainly wasn't trying to make light of it. What you point out is exactly correct. I've been reading Can War be Just? This article among others is making me think that Rules of Engagement are immoral and demand more of the soldier in a combat zone than can be morally justified. I've felt that way since badly written R.O.E. contributed to our Marines being killed in Beirut in 1983.
