And we all remember the problem we had during World War 2 because American Lutherans did not want to fight in Germany and American Catholics did not want to fight in Italy.

and they all went on a shooting rampage armed with two handguns and shot a dozen or more enlisted personnel...

Despicable. You. Are.

Not sure but I think he forgot his sarcasm tag..

Look, there is a process in the Army for conscientious objectors, and also a way for personnel who cannot fight those of their ancestry to fight elsewhere.

This is not rocket science.The fact is that we have a soft , dodgy bunch of command army personnel who think that the army needs to be a peace corps.The Marine Barracks in Lebanon, The USS Cole, and now Fort Hood are examples of this fact.

If Patton were alive and at Fort Hood he would have entered Casey’s office in Washington and buggy whipped him.Patton in the old days would have had to stand in line.

And the same thinking has penetrated the minds of conservatives.Thus we lose the will to win.If thats the way things are, we should pull all of our troops home, set up barricades and wait for the enemy to come. Like a bunch of old knarlies wringing their hands in consternation.

This whole episode sickens me.Makes me physically nauseous. And I am not alone. Some serious shite has to hit the fan, or we are done.
