A lot of people, mostly liberals I expect, think interring the Japanese during WWII was wrong because the vast majority of Japanese meant us no harm. However you feel about that, not allowing persons who are potentially the enemy to join your army, at the very least, makes good sense. The enemy is, of course, anybody who might get you killed.

Yep. And a usually missed fact about the American Japanese internments was that they also protected the American Japanese from violent non-Japanese citizens. It was as much for their own protection from an angry public. I've been told this by people who were there.

Personally, I think the Ft. Hood Massacre is more significant than 911.

Right now, any American military personnel serving anywhere, whether on U.S. soil or overseas, is in an enemy zone. Hasan was BLATANT. He was IDENTIFIED. He was a friggin' NEON LIGHT.

And the official powers-that-be still gave him the benefit of the doubt. Now 13 are dead and 30 wounded, correct? And they continue to extend the benefit of the doubt. Gen. Casey and Obama have made it crystal clear that "diversity" and political correctness will continue to take priority over the lives of military personnel.

I'd mutiny.
