yes
“Department of Defense should allow Muslim soldiers the option of being released as “Conscientious objectors” to increase troop morale and decrease adverse events.”
absolutely
in fact the DoD should encourage Muslim soldier to be released...or reassigned to non-combat positions....
its a “no-brainer”
too bad he was not released...he was reassigned to Ft Hood, and then ordered to deploy...
not excusing him in any way,
but too bad the army kept him, and then said “you go to the front” (oh and i know he would be in a non-combat rear arena)
there is a basic conflict of religion and purpose when we are engaged against Islamic fanatics and we have Muslim soldiers
who would ever want a Muslim on your 6 when engaged in this fight?
During the Civil War, the Union would allow Confederate prisoners to swear a loyalty oath in exchange for release. They would then equip them as Union soldiers, but rather than putting them into battle against former comrades, they sent repatriated Confederates westward to fight Indians.
Muzzie wants to be a soldier? Send him to S. Korea to hassle the “infidel” Buddhists.
Makes sense to me.
and I heard today that he wasn't counseling returning soldiers (and thus being presented with their horrific stories so that he could ‘catch’ their PTS) but rather that he was counseling (and haranguing) the soldiers who were preparing to be deployed. Now, THAT’s depressing! Imagine the poor soldiers having to listen to THIS guy's ranting and proselytizing!
I know I wouldn't!
