Just another point where your analogy falls short.

A unit comprised of a small number of potentially questionable troops (Japanese/Americans WWII) under the command of officers who's allegiance is not in question is not at all the same as having a group of men whose LEADER has potentially questionable loyalties (a US Army/muslim officer).

Leaders who aren't loyal to their mission are a huge liability. Kinda like Arnold in the RevWar, Quisling in WWII, and Kerry in VietNam...

I get that you believe these folks will be assets to the Officer Corps. I just hope that you're right.
