Muslims Offended—Soldier’s Career Destroyed—Official Army Records Show Loss to Nation

ANN ARBOR, MI – During a Pentagon press conference on May 10, 2012, General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, publicly excoriated Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Matthew Dooley, a 1994 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and a highly decorated combat veteran. His reason: The course on Islamic Radicalism which LTC Dooley was teaching at the Joint Forces Staff College (JFSC) of the National Defense University was offensive to Muslims.

General Dempsey characterized LTC Dooley’s course as "totally objectionable," and ordered all material offensive to Islam scrubbed from military professional education within the JFSC and elsewhere. But that’s not all. LTC Dooley was fired from his instructor position and given an ordered negative Officer Evaluation Report (OER) — the death-knell for a military career.

The actions against LTC Dooley follow a letter to the Department of Defense dated October 19, 2011 signed by 57 Muslim organizations demanding that all training materials offensive to Islam and Muslims be purged and the trainers disciplined.

A review of LTC Dooley’s OERs going back several years, including his OER as an instructor with JFSC, paint a picture of an outstanding officer with unlimited potential:

There must be some sort of precedent for this.

How many instructors were fired during the civil was for offending the south?

How many instructors were removed during WW-1 for offending the Kaiser?

How many instructors were pulled from the classroom for offending the Japanese, or Nazi’s?

If the answer is none of the above then when did the war on terror become the war on speech?

DE VERITAS LIBER

The Army doesn’t want smart Officers, they want obedient Officers. This explains why we’re over 11 years in Afghanistan with no victory. Idiots run the Army. Would you keep paying garbagemen who couldn’t haul off your garbage in 11 years? Why are we paying these admirals and generals? Man, they talk a good fight but they can’t win in 11 years. They have failed our nation. There’s no way around that fact. And I don’t want to hear excuses. They get paid big money and benefits to win. The goddamn Taliban don’t have a helicopter to fly around in. With your shield or on it, generals!

Want to see something interesting?
Here is a link to Wired.com’s pdf copy of LTC Dooley’s presentation called “So What Can We Do? A Counter-Jihad Op Design Model” from July 2011.
Use Ctrl-Shift-minus to rotate the page counter-clockwise.
Check out pages 16 to the end.

Have you read other stories about this?

IMHO it’s clear. And there have been many articles about the Islamic/Muslim Brotherhood influence all over the fedgov, including the Pentagon and DoD in general.

Treasonous and hateful. Criminal.

I can’t rotate the page. Could you give a hint why it’s interesting? I tried reading it sideways and can’t get it.
