"the course content, the guest speakers, and the method of instruction" for the course was all approved by the the Joint Forces Staff College "years ago."

If this is true we are witnessing the corruption of our military at the very top. No nation can survive if its military, like his judiciary, is not isolated and immunized from politics.

We have seen the politicization of the CIA in the leaks they generated in the run-up to the Iraq war. We have seen the politicization of our judiciary by Obama's appointments to the supreme court and the decline into burlesque of the Ninth Circuit.

Now we see the corruption of our professional officer corps which was infected under the Clinton administration and only accelerated now by Obama. This rarely makes for a bumper sticker election issue but it is absolutely fundamental to the survival of the great nation.

All these Muslim groups are run by Islamists.
The president is a Muslim exhibiting taqiya.
Ft. Hood is workplace violence.
NASA is for Muslim outreach.
The FBI must sensitize its agents vis-a-vis interrogating Muslims.
Guantanamo is a resort catering to every Muslim sensitivity.
The blind sheik Omar Abdel Rahman's release is being actively discussed--that was the cause of the Cairo demonstration, not a video.
A Taliban lawyer is now number three at DOJ.
POTUS observes all Muslim holidays and no Christian holidays.
America is no longer a Christian nation, he claimed in his first speech as president.
My Muslim faith, he said.
And his secstate is run by an agent of influence whose mother is tight with Egypt's fundamental Islamist leader.
The First Amendment must give way to Sharia.
This figure of evil will enforce dhimmitude--has already forced the military leaders to bow to Islam.
Offend?
This baby-killing, dog-eating, Christian-hating poseur offends.
In 2006 he campaigned in Kenya for the Muslim candidate Raila Odinga whose rioting followers burned Christians hin their church.
Romney must emulate Hercules and divert a river through the Augean Stables.

Well, hold on: forget for a moment that this is about "Islam." the Army or ant military branch has, and always has had, authority to set curricula. If this course had guidelines in place---AS ALL MY COURSES DO AT A PRIVATE CATHOLIC COLLEGE---then we should b asking how he particularly violated the guidelines, not whether colleges can establish guidelines.

As for the "politicization" of the militarism, do you mean like when (for decades) the Army and Marines resisted greater use of automatic weapons because of the purported "American sharpshooter tradition" or when the Navy steadfastly refused to incorporate submarines because they weren't civilized, or when Patton was forced to go back to cavalry because of his advocacy of encirclement ran counter to what was taught in the war college? Our history is full of "politicized" policies going back to Lincoln's war order requiring McClellan to get off his ass. These may not be correct or prudent but this is not nothing new. In WW I a filmmaker was arrested for making a movie bout the Revolution because it had a scene depicting Brit soldiers doing bad things---because policy was you couldn't say bad things about an ally.
