| FBI & DOD Could Have Prevented Ft. Hood Shooting |
| 2011-02-04 |
| A new Senate report on the 2009 Fort Hood shooting blames the FBI and Department of Defense for failing to recognize or act on alleged shooter Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan's extremist views. But being PC feels sooooo good. The handwringing brings orgasms. And the denial is divine. So perhaps PC doesn't have much of a place in the military, but I'm sure it will continue to work wonders for our politics. |

| #9 Doctors are too rare and valuable to pitch out just because they act weird, unless they go really overboard. And so he did. |

| #8 I disagree with the premise. First of all, the Pentagon gets shirty when outsiders like the FBI start sniffing around on their turf. But that being said, military medical works off very different rules than the rest of the Army. Had he been in a regular line unit he would have been spotted quick, but if he was doing his job, he would have all sorts of Hawkeye Pierce slack. Doctors are too rare and valuable to pitch out just because they act weird, unless they go really overboard. |

| #7 General George Casey is the anti-thesis of the General who fought to establish this nation, General George Washington who said, "The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man, will endeavor so to live, and act, as becomes a Christian Soldier defending the dearest Rights and Liberties of his country." General George Washington, July 9, 1776 |

| #6 General George Casey immediately after the shooting: "Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think thatÂ’s worse". |

| #5 Thanks, TW. When he was ordered to go, he saw the enemies of his Islamic brothers was the army he was a part of Oh, I'm sure he saw that long before he was ordered to go. He was just contributing by screwing up those he was supposed to be counseling, and the Army was contributing to it by allowing the charade to proceed. |

| #3 Fanatical Islamists are very tight with each other. Nidal said over and over he did not want to be deployed against Islamic Jihad. When he was ordered to go, he saw the enemies of his Islamic brothers was the army he was a part of and did the honorable thing a fanatic would do, fight them from where he stood. America has fought fanatics throughout history, but this generation has lost all sense of what past generations knew. And they have put these these people in the midst of us anyway, at all levels. |
