Ft. Hood Killer at Work in Annapolis

Political correctness was responsible for the death of thirteen people at Ft. Hood. Of this I am certain. I have watched political correctness at work in the military for more than three decades while serving in two different military branches. I may not have seen it all but, I have seen quite a bit of it.

Aside from academia and the civilian government workforce, there is no place else in America where political correctness is as rampant as military. The rules of political correctness are not listed in military regulations. It is like knowing where to find the chow hall. Everyone just knows.

Press reports indicate Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan grossly misbehaved for years. Not only wasn’t he seriously reprimanded, but he was actually promoted in spite of engaging in behavior that would have quickly ended the careers of others. Many of us who have witnessed similar behavior know what occurred. Hasan’s activities were virtually ignored because he is Muslim.


Politically correctness is a major cancer in today’s military. There are favored minority groups that are given special rights, privileges and treatment not available to non-minorities. Military awards are one example. Sister services -- the Navy and Marine Corps -- have between them at least 15 awards reserved only for women or minorities including Black Engineer of the Year, National Organization for Mexican American Rights Meritorious Service, and the Society of American-Indian Government Employees awards.

The Army’s hands-off approach toward the Muslim Hasan contrasts significantly with how Defense officials have handled those practicing mainstream religions.

Hasan was a medical professional serving in a sacred role administering to the most vulnerable; yet, he was proselytizing to his patients about Islam. In spite of this, he was twice promoted.

About the same time Hasan was preaching Islam to the wounded, complaints arose of alleged proselytizing by Evangelical Christians at the U.S. Air Force Academy. A major Pentagon task force was dispatched, investigated and found a "perception of religious bias." Nonetheless, nearly six years after complaints first arose at USAFA, Christian activity at the school is still closely scrutinized.

Military political correctness is rampant much closer to the nation’s capital. The U.S. Naval Academy is to train young adults to serve in the combat arms of the Navy and Marine Corps. However, Superintendent and Vice Admiral Jeffrey Fowler -- apparently unaware that the U.S. is engaged in two wars -- states his number one priority is to increase diversity.

Fowler is not alone in pumping up multiculturalism. Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen claims diversity is a “strategic imperative.â€

Political correctness and cultural diversity are at direct odds against what military members are trained to do, especially Marines, in combat. When the shooting starts there is no sensitivity as to race, ethnicity, religion or sexual preference. It's kill or be killed. Period. How can cultural diversity be a good thing in this case? Will a Muslim Marine hesitate in that critical second to kill another Muslim and result in the deaths of his fellow Marines? There can be NO hesitation or compulsion about the task at hand. To do otherwise would be so debilitating and demoralizing as to render our fighting forces completely impotent. This is the dilemma and the solution should be glaringly obvious to any country that wants to maintain an effective military. Diversity in the military?? We should DEMAND a fighting force that has but one mission, annihilate the enemy and protect the country.

I believe the political correctness hysteria started full force in the Clinton administration and has gain strength since, career officers are scared to death of this boogie man and it is slowly eating away at our military who really is having a tough time retaining qualified people.

IMO the military cannot should not reflect our broken society if we are to survive.

We have example after example that clearly demonstrates that this administration cares more about our enemies than he/they do about our soliders and/or our people.

One of many example:
The Ft. Hood incident. An extremists Muslim killed 13 innocent Americans on a military base, and obama was commenting about how we should not jump to any conclusions. It was a "smoking gun" incident. The killer shouted out "Praise to Allah" as he slaughtered OUR people. And obama is telling us NOT to jump to conclusions that the killer was an Extremist Muslim. Pure Nonsense.

The lesson is that we can not trust the gov't at all, We, as Americans, must come together and help and protect one another from a majority party ruled gov't that hates us.
