What specifically? Diminishing the effects of combat by blowing it off and calling him a Muslim whackjob?

You really take the cake. Just last week an Iraqi uniformed soldier killed two of our soldiers and wounded three others:

Wondering aloud if this shooter has a tie to the ‘Religion Of Peace’ is not without merit. Why don’t you read and educate yourself before you shoot your mouth off next time.

“Attacks on officers and sergeants were not uncommon during the Vietnam war as morale in the ranks sank.

However, such incidents are rare in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In 2003, Army Sgt Hasan Akbar was sentenced to death for killing two officers in Kuwait just before the US-led invasion of Iraq.
In June 2005, an Army captain and lieutenant were killed when an anti-personnel mine detonated in the window of their room at the American base in Tikrit.
A National Guard sergeant was later acquitted of causing the blast.
There have been several incidents recently when gunmen dressed as Iraqi soldiers have opened fire on American troops, including an attack in the northern city of Mosul on May 2 in which two soldiers and the gunman were killed.”
