The Army did not want to discipline or in any way discourage their only Muslim Major. Hassan’s chain of command was under the impression that it would be a huge black-eye on the Army if they did not actively support “diversity”.
As a matter of fact, AFTER the shooting a fellow with more brass than brains resting on his shoulders came out and stated that, as tragic as the shooting was, it would be “more” tragic is “diversity” were to suffer as a result.
Which begs the question, how many blood sacrifices must we offer up to the god of “diversity”? How many young men and women should we leave on the bloody altar as offerings?
Is exercising common sense and basic objectivity really so abhorrent that we can’t allow it in our society any more?
Excellent post.
This general should have offered to give the life of one of his children to satisfy the diversity “gods.”
“....it would be “more” tragic if “diversity” were to suffer as a result.”
That was the execrable Army chief of staff Gen. Casey, who issued a 75-page initial report on the massacre without any mention at all of the words “Muslim” or “Islam”.
I’ve said a jillion times that this case will never go to trial as too many heads will roll if Hasan is convicted.
It’s now predicted that the trial/appeals will drag on for years. Hasan will probably die in prison of old age though I hope he dies of other causes such as suffocation with a pillow, no weapon needed.

I think it is blatantly obvious that the true answer is yes, of course, why would anyone doubt it?
