Betrayal

The murderous Islamic rampage committed by US Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan at Fort Hood was not particularly surprising either to the general public or, as we have found, to the agents of the United States government whose job it was to protect us from such things. If you bring a rattlesnake into your living room, feed it and promote it and pretend it is your loyal minion can it really be a big surprise when it bites you?

The real question is why does the Army chain of command value a sham of diversity over the very real lives of its loyal soldiers. Out of a military with around 1.4 million active duty soldiers less than 4,000 are self declared Muslims. These 4,000 are all that choose to serve from a US Muslim population of some seven million people. Given that in the last eight years since the 9/11 terrorist attack our armed forces have been in constant conflict with Islamic warriors it is again small surprise that so few American Muslims have chosen to put loyalty and service to their adopted country over the dictates of their religion?

You see for Muslims to make war on their co-religionist on behalf of a Khufaar nation like the United States is a great sin. Nidal Hasan made this point very clearly in a slide presentation on Muslims that he presented to an audience of his medical peers at Walter Reid Army Hospital in 2007 stating that, ” It is getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims.” His recommendation at the end of his presentation was that the Department of Defense allow all Muslims service members an option of a discharge as “conscientious objectors” to “increase troop morale and decrease adverse events.” Isn’t it about time to give up on the great western Snipe hunt searching for moderate Muslims?

Nor as we have found out was this briefing the only indicator that Hasan was not loyal to United States or its military. His business card was printed with SOA that we have been told is a abbreviation for “Soldier of Allah”. Numerous fellow soldiers reported him for making statements supportive of Islamic terrorism and his abusive use of his access to soldiers at Walter Reid to promote conversion to Islam. Our intelligence community even knew that he was corresponding by email with the radical pro-al Qaeda American-Yemeni Jihadi Imam Anwar-Awlaki. One can’t blame the snake Nidal Malik Hasan for failing to rattle before striking and if all these warnings were not enough to inform us that his treachery was motivated by faith in Islam, he shouted the war-cry of the Islamic warrior, “Allah Akbar” as he gunned down our defenseless soldiers at Fort Hood.

So now 43 American soldiers have been seriously wounded, thirteen of them have died from the attack as well as an unborn innocent who died with his soldier mother. You would think that the Army chain of command would have made haste to protect and comfort its soldiers and their families after this horrific violation of the sanctity and security of one of the largest US Army bases in the world. Instead the Army Chief of Staff, General George Casey Jr., rushed out on the Sunday news circuit shortly after the attack and declared his allegiance to the politically correct cultural Marxist doctrine of diversity, “A diverse Army gives us strength”. He followed this declaration of his faith with the unbelievable assertion that, “It would be a shame- as great a tragedy as this was- it would be a shame if our diversity was a casualty as well.” Somebody should tell General Casey that this murderous attack was a terrorist attack not a tragedy.

Fourteen decent loyal Americans lay dead and 30 more were in the hospital after the first major terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11 and all the Army Chief of Staff was expressing concern about was the Marxist cult of diversity. I remember when I thought we won the cold war and defeated International Communism, hell, I even have a ribbon for our “victory” in the Cold War. Never would I have dreamed that one of the most senior Army leaders would be mouthing Marxist platitudes like some dopey liberal arts college professor. General Casey is a disgrace to his uniform and the real betrayal at Fort Hood was not that a Jihadi Muslim attacked our troops but that the Army leadership created an environment where the snake Nidal Hasan could thrive, be promoted and have unlimited access to our loyal soldiers.

It is time to get real and a proper Congressional investigation of the multiple failures of our system to protect our soldiers would result in General Casey and many others to at a minimum resign from the service. However under the administration of Barrack Hussein Obama and with the loathsome Janet Napolitano heading up “Homeland Security” we can only expect this incident to be hurriedly hushed up and erased from the public’s pathetically short lived “awareness” by the all to willing progressive accomplices in the mainstream media.

I will tell you, however, that there are many active duty soldiers and veterans that will not easily forget this attack against us and the failure of the Army’s leadership to prevent the incident or strongly express their determination to prevent another such incident. Don’t forget this in not the first time that a homicidal Muslim traitor has attacked our troops, many of us have not forgotten the fratricidal grenade attack by Sergeant Hasan Akbar of the 326th Engineer Battalion of the 101st Air Assault Division that killed two and wounded fourteen of our soldiers.

The story of Nidal Malik Hasan is even more interesting than another Muslim attack against our soldiers. It is also a story of another incompetent who gamed the affirmative action system to obtain a promotion that he did not deserve. Hasan’s efficiency reports and testimony by service members who knew him at Walter Reid indicate that not only was he openly disloyal to the United States but that he was a lazy, inefficient troublemaker. Numerous people complained about him but still he gained promotion to the field grade rank of Major. Now for those of you who have not served in the military you should understand that professionals like doctors and lawyers are not really “soldiers”. They are directly commissioned as Captains after completing their professional training and have the barest familiarization with the military.

The media hype about violent soldiers and second hand PTSD is liberal drivel. All Hasan was at Walter Reid was an incompetent doctor who was promoted through an affirmative action policy and retained because the Army had already payed for his professional education and wanted to get some value back for the money they threw down the toilet on the snake. He was not disciplined or dismissed from the service because political correctness is so strong of a force in our military that any attempt to deal negatively with a protected class could easily rebound and destroy the career of the officer or NCO who initiates the action.

Notice that almost nothing is being said about the damage that Hasan must have done to our troops at Walter Reid who sought him out for help with PTSD and other mental health issues. Can you imagine the rot that he must have been passing off as therapy for these young soldiers? We already know that a number of them lodged formal complaints about his radical views and aggressive proselytizing of the Islamic faith. It is an almost unbelievable betrayal of the American soldier that our leadership would allow a Muslim who had made many public statements against our wars in the Middle East and in support of terrorist to offer counseling and therapy to soldiers returning from these wars.

While I was serving as a young Infantry Lieutenant my Battalion Commander was very clear that you were only allowed to make the same mistake once and that it was inexcusable to make that mistake over and over again. The Fort Hood terrorist attack is not the first time our soldiers have been betrayed by Muslims in our ranks. The tenants of the Islamic faith make it impossible for a true believer in the Islamic faith to honestly proclaim our oath of service, “I take this obligation freely without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion.” By very definition the Muslim is the slave of Allah and can’t put loyalty to the United States or our military above their loyalty to Islam and their community of believers.

The affirmative action diversity culture is an insult to our soldiers of all races and creeds. The military is a competitive meritocracy and is one of the finest institutions that America has produced. Real soldiers don’t need extra points or diversity set asides to progress in the US Army. We should never again allow our soldiers to be stabbed in the back by traitors in uniform. It is well past time that the American military stops sacrificing soldiers at the alter of diversity and political correctness.
