General George Casey Jr., the Army chief of staff, said on Sunday that he was concerned that speculation about the religious beliefs of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, accused of killing 12 fellow soldiers and one civilian and wounding 30 0thers in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, could “cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers.”
“I’ve asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that,” General Casey said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union. “It would be a shame — as great a tragedy as this was — it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well.”
Question 2: Why is ethnic diversity considered a strength in itself, when so much of human history suggests otherwise?
If I may quote Mark Steyn for Gen Casey’s enlightenment:
“So far it is Muslims: 0; Non-Muslims: 13.”
What about the plans so this “never happens again”?
EXCUSE ME!!!!!!
Has this idiot been paying attention to current events.
It was a MUSLIM that MURDERED our troops.
F___ Muslim troops.
Instead, Casey's worried about potential attacks on Muslim troops that haven't occured when he should be paying attention to the threat of further Muslim attacks on non-Muslims.
Exactly.
It seems we have reached the point that the percentage of treasonous moles in military accurately reflects the percentage in the general population. The diversity Czars should be very proud.
I heard from a rather reliable source 20 years ago that they were beginning to teach PC and DIVERSITY nonsense at the military academies and making it mandatory for older officers as a follow-on course. Looks like Casey took one or more of them.
Political Correctness:
”A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority,
and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media,
which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible
to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
(This is why I caution folks to NEVER shake hands with leftists: They spend their miserable, self-deluded lives happily producing and picking up those turds and they never wash their hands.)
By spreading this definition around, perhaps we can employ one of the more effective methods of deflating and defeating the fools who practice and promote it: RIDICULE. (Number 5 from Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”)
Unless stopped – and soon – PC will DESTROY Western Civilization — if it hasn’t already.
PASS IT ON!!
(Credit hereby given to my late cousin Karl Benton Clark for either creating this definition or bringing it to my attention
Do you have a link?
Why is the Army Chief of Staff more worried that Muslims might get their wittle feewings hurt than about the well being of all the non-Muslims in the Army who appear to have big targets painted on their backs, thanks to the Army’s PC policies?
> “... it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well.”
Darn, I was hoping that some good would come of this and we would dump this whole diversity crap.
“Why is ethnic diversity considered a strength in itself, when so much of human history suggests otherwise?”
Because this time, it is being tried by the ‘right people’.
Re: “F___ Muslim troops.”
This is an insult to loyal Muslim-Americans. The terrorist would have gunned down genuine Muslims had they been present, along with everybody else. Remember that most victims of mindless militant “Islamic” violence are Muslims, spectacular one-time events like 9/11 to the contrary.
Remember that Franklin Roosevelt put Japanese-Americans in concentration camps while Japanese-Americans served loyally in uniform. You are effectively doing to Muslims, many of whom emigrated to get away from their Third World garbage holes, what FDR did to Japanese-Americans.
Discrimination against someone for their race and gender should be wrong because that's something you're born with.
Discrimination against someone for their attitudes, beliefs and even culture should be on the table all day long, everyday.
Ethnic diversity is a dangerous to any armed force. It was hard enough during WWII for us and the Brits to get our acts together, and we are close cousins. We are lucky that we had shut off mass immigration after WWI, so that the men of our armed forces were men of a common language and similar culture.
What is “frag” for $100 Alex.
