Army forsakes combat hero for Muslims
WorldNetDaily ^ | Mar 5, 2013 | Radio Staff Report

"'If we can't accurately describe who the enemy is, how can we win a war?'"

In October, WND reported Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley was fired from his position at the school for the way he conducted a class on how to respond to a variety of scenarios instigated by radical Muslims. A visitor to the class found the discussions offensive to Muslims and informed some 57 Islamic organizations, which then complained to Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In addition to the firing, Gen. Dempsey promptly orchestrated a negative Officer Evaluation Report against Dooley that deeply tarnished a career that had received only sterling reviews from West Point through nearly 20 years in the service. Dempsey never discussed the incident with Dooley.

On Sunday, the Washington Times reported Dooley has been punished again, this time as he pursued the role of battalion commander. According to the Times, an Army command selection board studied Dooley’s record and candidacy for a command assignment. The five-member panel agreed to keep Dooley under consideration. Shortly thereafter, Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, who at the time was Army vice chief and subsequently became head of U.S. Central Command, overruled the board in a brief memo. His actions could effectively spell the end of Dooley’s career.

“There was no reason given, and that’s also a very disturbing aspect of it,” said Richard Thompson, president of the Thomas More Law Center, who is representing Dooley in his original appeal of his firing and negative review. “The way they’re treating him now is not only a total .....”

I would have told the guy running the discussion,
“Let me know when 19 Catholics hijack commercial airliners and fly them into the Pentagon and tall skyscrapers in lower Manhattan.”

The Saudi “person of interest” tackled at the Boston marathon finish line and visited in the hospital by Michelle Obama has been positively identified by a qualified ex-spook as Hamza, the son of Osama Bin Laden. The CIA had him labelled as a “known terrorist” and somebody singlehandedly removed that classification.

Sounds like hussein has a personal connection. Makes me wonder of Obama bin Laden was really even killed.

A black general who got ahead by affirmative action obeys orders.

I hate affirmative action promotions in any field but Military promotions should be merit only.

We had NCOs who could not write a complete sentence, but could score 300 on the APFT. How some of those got through the NCOES is beyond my comprehension. But, if they were minorities, "just look the other way".
