Today, this army wife is mad as hell.
This afternoon I saw an interview on FOX with the Army Chief of Staff, General Casey.
During the Q&A period, every question and answer centered around Combat Stress and suicides among our military.
Not ONE person addressed the FACT that this was an individual practicing his view of Islamic Jihad.
After the press conference, the cameras went back to Shep Smith at the FOX studios. The first thing he said was, “The question on everyone’s mind is, ‘Why did he do this?’”
Why? WHY, you ask??
Let me tell you cowards in the media WHY. Hassan was a Muslim Fundamentalist Extremist. He did it to strike fear and grief in the hearts of Americans. He did it to hurt our military and to further the cause of Islam.
He didn’t do it because he had PTSD, compassion fatigue or combat stress. He is not your average everyday PVT Joe Snuffy.
He is a TERRORIST. He is a terrorist sympathizer. (As indicated by his internet postings.) He is a Muslim Extremist.
And you damn well know it.
Today I am ashamed of our media. I am ashamed of our POTUS. I am ashamed of our leadership.
Those of you who lack the ability to accept and report the truth of this situation are nothing more than cowards who are terrified of giving offense. You do a disservice to the brave men and women who have been killed and injured in your defense.
Stop insulting the solders by implying that they’re all capable of this due to the stress of war. Stop insulting our military by implying that they don’t take care of our troops.
Grow a pair and call it what it is - TERRORISM.
Speak truth to THAT power and you had best be ready to be beheaded or worse.
You are 100% correct.
Thank You
US Army 1964-1968.
We need to declare all out war on political correctness.
PC is the most effective weapon the enemies of our culture and country (including leftists in there) have.
Back in the 70’s the military decided that they were going to be politically correct. All of the “Generals” we have now, with a few exceptions, rose through the ranks following that tenet. With an affirmative action, muzzie, POS in the White House, they aren’t going to change now.
never forget that nitwit Sheppie Smith is light in the loafers.... and just a general air-head.
I agree with everything you said. If the military leaders can’t call it what it is, we’ve lost.
couldn’t have said it any better...it makes me sick with all this political correctness crap...call it what it is...black is black white is white...a muslim is a muslim...we need real leaders in this country.......
Before the destroy us completely.
Marie,
This ARMY mom is right there with you!
Though PTSD and “compassion fatigue” are very real things, these are NOT what this dirtbag terrorist was all about.
I hate to think of what kind of tragedy will befall us before the politically correct bs goes by the wayside.
Call it what it is and be done with it.
Political Correctness is a cancer that this country has to eradicate in order to survive. If not the US is dead. One can not have an IDENTITY and PC at the soame time
Well said! Thank you and your husband for the sacrifices you make for us.
God bless.
THERE IT IS.
You GO, girl!!!!
Hear, hear!
It is known he made pro-suicide bomber statements online months and months ago and nothing was done. He was disciplined for preaching Islam to his patients who were returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
He yelled Allahu Akhbar as he gunned down those soldiers.
And they blame stress.
People this is appeasement, this is dhimmitude, this is going to encourage more such attacks. We are in even more danger as a country because of this.
GORILLA, WHAT GORILLA? In here? With us?
Yes, a few minutes of “Doctor” Phil last night was enough to switch to watching High Noon on TCM instead.
Well, until the people at the top speak plainly.......
America’s anger is real and those willingly avoiding the facts are doing us more harm than good.
