If there was a few dozen “Hasans” in the US military, they could effectively destroy the US by bankrupting us as we’ve chosen the most expensive way of dealing with them.

Political correctness cost us over a dozen lives.

All those lives lost all for the cost of one bullet from an armed *true US* soldier.
