You have to view this segment of the Meet the Press interview with Army chief of staff General George Casey to believe it -- to believe that our army could be led by someone as incompetent in national security matters as this man showed he was, first by claiming that the army hadn't "missed anything" in regard to the in-your-face warning signs exhibited by Major Hasan that he was a fanatical Muslim jihadist and an imminent threat to massacre our troops, by admitting that the army's diversity policies had trumped its security policies, and worst of all by making this statement:
"As horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse."

Huh, most likely Current Occupant will create another star just for Casey.
“As horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.”

Sure. Diversity wins over the lives of 13 soldiers. Anytime.

Good lord....what an effing idiot.
psychosis (detachment from reality)
DFR
the administration, the military brass and the left=DFR
Meet our next Democratic candidate for President.
That’s worse? He needs to tell that to the families of the 13 people who are now dead.
General Casey is a typical soft bureaucrat, full of caution and BS. When these 4 star generals reveal themselves to be Jihad Deniers, we are screwed.
5:22 mark on the tape for the backlash question.
Finishes up by saying “We as an army have to be broad enough to bring in people from all walks of life.” Sure, Islamic terrorists, white supremacists, gangstas, MS-13, Chicoms. Diversity is our strength.
Another Perfumed Prince of the Pentagon.
An OBAMA man through and through.
He needs to be removed for the safety of our troops.
He didn’t do a swell job in Iraq either.
The problem is not General Casey, the problem is the Obama administration.
The whole US Army should go on strike.
This guy is a real pussy.
Goes to show....government is permeating every aspect of our lives, including the military. If I were the general, I would have said what I thought, but in his defense, he may have been TOLD what to say. When I look back at many of our generals, I dont see such krap coming out of them. That’s because they didn’t have a President or his henchmen controlling their thoughts.
By the way, just found out that Ft. Hood (or at least the area where the shootings took place) is a “gun-free zone?” These folks had no weapons...they had to wait for a civilian police officer to come in and rescue them. Another example of government meddling in military affairs.
My Dad who spent the majority of his adult life in the military (WWII, Korean War, and Viet Nam War) always said that the brass and the politicals always treated the welfare of the men as a political game.
I remember hearing my folks talk about how disgusted they were about being political pawns.
A member of the Joint Chiefs who follows administration orders with which he profoundly disagrees should resign. So, Casey either agrees with the policies or is willing to compromise his principals to keep his job. Either way, he is no leader.
The military isn’t the place for social experimentation or any so-called ‘diversity’, General - especially for muslims.
There should be no place in our Armed Forces for a group of people whose primary allegiance is to the koran, not the United States of America.
How many more dead Americans do we have to have before you understand that simple fact?
