To put this simply and to the point. How did a religious zealot worm his way into the United States military services, and carrying out a terrorist attack killing over a dozen military personnel, and wounding thirty-one more people at Ft. Hood, Texas? He was a major in the United States Army Medical Corps. There is a very simple answer. Political Correctness, and Social Experimentation run amok.
A little background first. The mission of the military officer corps is to train and move substantively qualified and knowledgeable people to positions of responsibility where their leadership abilities can direct a large complex organization to full fill there mission which is “National Security.” In theory to accomplish this mission only the most competent and knowledgeable persons would be promoted to handle the over all complexities of warfare.
However due to the “Caesar Complex,” a litany of political bureaucrats, and social reformist whose only expertise to warfighting is a copy of “The Art of War” by the Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu, that sits unread on their bookshelves. That and a rudimentary knowledge of the plots in a series of movies directed by their favorite anti-military minded Hollywood directors or their sexual infatuations while watching Jane Fonda, workout tapes, in darkened rooms seems to make them think that they are experts.
Social experiences in alternative life styles, repairing roads, passing out lunches, and singing kumara with “hostile peer competitors” as the politically correct crowd wants to call them now, is putting it bluntly pure bull shit. They are not “hostile peer competitors.” they are the enemy. A force as the Merrian Webster dictionary defines as a “….antagonistic to another, one seeking to injure, overthrow, or confound and opponent. Something that is harmful or deadly, a military adversary, a hostile unit or force.” They are not your buddy, they are not your friend, nor are they someone you want to sit around with and swap spit. They are the ENEMY. The political correctness spin is so conflated and perverse that the “global war on terrorism,” name was changed by the Obama administration. The official e-mail memo to the Pentagon staff, and the Defense department’s office of security review was advised that "this [Obama] administration prefers to avoid using the term 'Long War' or 'Global War on Terror', [GWOT]. Please use 'Overseas Contingency…..”
So what does this have to do with the price of rice in China, and Major Nidal Malik Hasan who planned, and carried out a methodical campaign of murder on his unarmed comrades at Ford Hood in Texas as they prepared to deploy to Afghanistan and Iraq? Well first of he was a disgruntled social malcontent and devout follower of Islam. Born a first generation American of Jordanian parents, he was a home grown Islamic terrorist. He had been taken into the medical field by the U.S. Army and paid to go to school and a post at Walter Reed Medical Hospital in Washington. His dislike for the United States and the military that had given him everything was superseded by his religious fervor. He had been quoted as saying he wanted a wife that would be “more religious’ than himself.” He wanted her “to pray five times a day,” and she had to wear the traditional “hajib.” My question would be why would a woman want to put her self into a situation, and life of total control, and derogation.
While at Walter Reed Hospital, Hasan had lived in Silver Springs, Md., where a former imam at the Muslim Community Center commented that he [Hasan] was “devout,” and attended daily services at the Mosque. Numerous co-workers of Hasan have disclosed that they had overheard or had first hand experience with Major Hasan making religious and disparing remarks about the United States government’s actions in fighting the Islamic Fundamentalist in the on going War on Terrorism in the middle east.
So this is the hypothesizes that you will not hear from the politically correct news services or other agencies that are either afraid or to cowardly to report. First off Hasan was given special treatment because he was a minority of whom the United States Military thought that his language skills would be of benefit. He was a first born American of Jordanian parents. Primarily however he was a minority. Do not get your panties in a wad here, as this statement is not mean to be a racial slur. It is just a truthism for the “Political Correctness and Social Experiment” [PCSE] being played in our military.
PCSE? Yes. That is what the military has become. A politically correct social experimental platform for all the bleeding heart, liberal, Maoist, eco-trash that permeate the control fixtures of government. You ask what is the control fixtures? That is the people behind the scenes that dribble out the money in the defense bills, etc.
Major Hasan’s “Officer Efficiency Report” [OER] was most likely fair, and would have been written by a superior officer. Major Hasan however did not think his OER was shall we say ‘fair.’ This “fairness or unfairness” idea has been drummed into our society by the new world political correct speech, which in reality is just a way to control freedom of speech. This fairness idea is so prevalent that in most school will not let children keep score in little league baseball games because someone might feel hurt that their team lost. Everyone gets a winning medal or little star on your papers. Hey, even better someone’s feeling might get their feeling hurt if they play tag at recess in school, because they might be tagged, and become ‘it.’ Give me a break!
Hey wake up you chowder headed slugs, maggots, zombies, and looters. Someone has to loss some time. Not everyone can be a winner. Have you every seen some of the sows in the women’s movement? Their chances of winning a beauty queen contest is zip, nada, none, kaput, zero. Some are so homely you would have to put a pork chop on their neck to get a dog to even play with them. The world is about winners and losers, not everyone being equal. Hasan also whined that he was picked on because he was a Muslim. I do not care if he worships a stick with two marbles glued on to it in the likeness of a scrotum bag ----RUCK UP MAJOR HASAN, THIS IS THE REAL WORLD. Did you mama not let you suck the front tit, or did some one said that you looked fat at the senior prom. It is the real world like it or not. People of your faith are coming to our house and murdering thousands of our fellow family members. Get on with life and try to make it a better place, you do not have to murder 13 unarmed people, and wound 31 others just to make your assine point that you are a brainwashed religious fruit cake.
Hasan said he was disturbed because people were making fun of his religion. Hell, at least they were just calling him names and not chopping off hiss head to please “their” god. Is this what your religion of peace and tolerance teaches. In 1968 Bobby Kennedy was murdered. In 1972 at the World Olympics at Munich, Germany unarmed athletes were kidnapped and massacred. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over. During the 1980's numerous Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon, along with the 1983 bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut, killing numerous people. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair. TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, Greece in 1085, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered. Then in 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed killing numerous civilians and military personnel flying home. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed, and in 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed. On 9/11/2001, thousands of people were murdered when four airliners were hijacked and used as suicide missiles to crash into the World Trade Centers, the US Pentagon one just to murder the passengers by crashing into a field. In 2002 reported Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered. In 2009 a malcontent shot and murdered unarmed recruiting personnel in Little Rock, Arkansas. An I forgot to mention the tens of thousands of Muslim civilian murdered, and others by the religion of peace and tolerance. All these murders were committed by Muslim males and not Baptist! Not Jews! Not Catholics! Not Mormons! Not Buddhist! Not Methodist, or any other religious group, but Muslims.
Major Hasan's constant political denouncement of his nations directions in a time of war while supporting Muslim fundamentalist whose directive world wide is the systematically murdering of non believers. His actions, and a his words brought his problems to head and he did not like the results. So is this what set Major Hasan off, leading him to murder his fellow comrades at arms. His action was motivated by his religion, and his terrorist action was supported by his remarks seconds before he started his murderous rampage. Jumping atop a table he yelled, “Alah Hu Akhbar” before pulling the trigger, and killing or wounding scores of unarmed people. It was terrorism, plain and system brought on by his devout religion fervor.
When it comes time to promote officers in the military, an Officer Efficiency Report is their grade card. We must strive to obtain the best of the best. It is crucial to develop a system in which qualified people are promoted within the military ranks without nepotism or cronyism. It should be nothing more or nothing less, but it is. First off the powers to be, say that a certain percentage of “minorities” have to be promoted in the officer’s ranks, regardless of qualifications. This is the real method, and not the politically correct excrement put out by the news services, etc.?
Let us say that there is a slot opening for a Capitan in an infantry unit. In the unit there are five first lieutenants to chose from. The officer in charge of the unit is to required to make his recommendations from the ranks of available first lieutenants. What the senior officer does is rate or grade the say five first lieutenants with a report card or OER as it is known in the military. Everyone can not receive the top rating. So someone is going to receive a lower grade. Basically the military command at the Pentagon will review these recommendation and make the final decision. “IF,” and this is the big word. If, enough minorities are not given high enough grades, the promotion list will most likely be delayed while the “brass” instruct the people on the ground to reevaluate their personnel. What does this mean? Well in most cases that meant, give me a minority.
The recent Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and presidential candidate was notorious for his adamant denial of OER recommendations if they did not have a considerably large number of minorities regardless of the applicants ability to lead, or direct a war. Approximately eleven percent of the armies officer corps is made up of minorities, while this General who also served as the Chief of Staff of the Army. His refusals to accept field grade officers recommendations for personnel advancement was well known in the officer’s corps of the Army. He pushed for a seventeen percent advancement recommendation. Now this is in no way to say that all minority advancements or promotions by minorities are structured against more qualified officers. There are numerous minority officers and NCOs in the military who are where the are because of their hard core attitude, training, knowledge, and superior skills. Nothing was given to them, and nothing should be taken from them. There dedication to country, god and family are to be saluted.
Major Hasan however was not one of them. He continued to whine and spout off his discontent of the U.S. military, and it policies at Walter Reed Hospital, in Washington DC. Most likely someone just got fed up with his mouth and cut orders to have his slacker butt sent to Fort Hood, Texas knowing he would be shipped out to the war zone. Now Major Hasan supposedly knew his days were numbered, and most likely decided he could murder unarmed men a lot easier that confront them when they were armed. Major Hasan is a coward, a failure, and a disgrace to the military.
As of this post Hasan is in a coma from four gun shots from the firearm of a woman. A woman! Isn't that ironic. One of the most mistreated, and beguiled segments of Muslim life is the female, and who plugged Major Hasan, four times. A woman, like I said, isn't it ironic. God, bless her steady hand and nerve.
Hasan should be given to the state of Texas once he comes out of his coma. A court in Texan should bring him to trial and if found guilty of murder he should become the first paraplegic to be executed.
