The answer to the last question is "None" of course.

I asked myself yesterday, will this lead to more PC or less? I'm afraid the answer thus far is "more."

Our troops always have their weapon at the ready when deployed. Why should on-base life be any different? How could the jihadist get off so many shots before being taken down?

And how could FBI tell us so quickly this was not terrorism, before they even investigated. For example, what is on the perp's computer.

Those are only a few of the many questions I have.

Did you see this BS?

Stresses at Fort Hood Were Likely Intense for Hasan
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1936085,00.html?xid=rss-topstories

While no one yet knows what ignited Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s murderous rage Thursday afternoon, Nov. 5, at Fort Hood, the kindling was hiding in plain sight. The Army had ordered Hasan, wrestling with the conflicting demands of being a soldier, a psychiatrist and a Muslim, to the post with the highest toll of Army suicides. Fort Hood is one of the Army’s most stressed posts because of its units’ revolving-door deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. Finally, the Army made clear that Hasan couldn’t escape his own pending deployment to Afghanistan, where he’d have to salve the mental wounds of fellow soldiers killing members of his own faith.

The correct term for what Hassan did was not “killings” or “murders”.

His was an act of genocide.

He calmly , in cold blood administered coups de grace to
12 people and then had to shoot randomly without accuracy as the soldiers began to gather to take him.And then he was dispatched by our heroine police officer.

GENOCIDE IS WHAT HE COMITTED. IT WAS A WAR CRIME.IT WAS ALSO TREASON IN TIME OF WAR. ANY MP COULD HAVE EXECUTED HIM ON THE SPOT. EVEN AFTER HE HAD BEEN APPREHENDED.

I suspect that the Author never spent a day in uniform.

The suggestion that the military arm every service member on every base is silly.

Well then why did the Muslim Bortherhood, erh, CAIR release the following statement, yesterday and within hours of this terrorist act:

“We condemn this cowardly attack in the strongest terms possible and ask that
the perpetrators be punished to the full extent of the law. No political or
religious ideology could ever justify or excuse such wanton and indiscriminate
violence. The attack was particularly heinous in that it targeted the
all-volunteer army that protects our nation. American Muslims stand with our
fellow citizens in offering both prayers for the victims and sincere
condolences to the families of those killed or injured.”

Who got it right? The muslims or the FBI apologists?

The innocent soldiers are victims of political correctness. They are innocent lambs sacrificed on the altar of PC. The left is responsible for their deaths.

Another ‘gun free zone’ triumph. How long before we hear calls for gun confiscation?

But not American soldiers. When asked if ordinary soldiers nearby had been carrying their service weapons, Fort Hood spokesman Lt. Gen Robert Cone said piously, "We do not carry weapons. This is our home." Defense is out-sourced to military police, or even — oh the indignity! — to civilian policemen.

My son was in the Navy when 9/11 happened, stationed on a sub base in Washington state. He and his sub crew which was in dry dock at the time were required to protect the Hood Canal Bridge. This is a big bridge that any boat must pass under on their way to the sub base. He called us on his cell phone on his watch and we asked him if he had a gun?

No, he replied but he did have night vision goggles and a cell phone!!! "What to call 911 in case you see terriosts coming to blow up a sub?" "Yep", was his reply!!

Another Moderate Muslim...

How many Muslims per-capita in this country as a percentage ...

now lets figure the number in the military,

now lets figure Muslim officers,

now boil it down to a military psychiatrist as the perpetrator.

It's amazing how so few kill so many innocents while praising Allah. That's the bottom line.

Until the MAINSTREAM MUSLIM COMMUNITY STANDS UP and decries these atrocities I will continue to draw my own conclusions based on undeniable facts.

Those murdered and maimed soldiers deserve justice not politically correct justification.

This medieval insanity has reached the breaking point... worldwide.

The people on base should have the same freedom to carry as other Texans.

Might have saved a few lives if this was the Army’s policy.

What is the real horror is that neither Party or the Prez will take a stand against PC baloney. They simply refuse to give into common sense. In a war, protection should be in the forefront not offended feelings. I am going to write the GOP leadership about this and see if they respond.
