Oh yes he did.

U.S. Army General: Lack of diversity in Army is worse than mass murder

Loss of diversity, says General Casey, would be worse than jihad murder: "Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that's worse."

As Pamela Geller puts it: "Diversity as a casualty would be an 'even greater tragedy' than the casualties of this act of war on American soil. I cannot believe what I am reading. It was not a tragedy, it was an terrorist attack. This is Obama's military command?...Instead of taking the enemy on, calling it what it is and taking offensive measures against a mortal enemy that has vowed our destruction, we submit."

If diversity became a casualty of this monstrous attack, I would call it a silver lining.

SOOOOO, in other words, the in order for the Army to have a proper helping of diversity, it has to include any jihadist who wishes to enlist or accept a commission, regardless of their allegiance to our Nation. By that token, are we to allow OBL to join our ranks? Any sensible person would agree that our military forces are a diverse group of people, but to state that there exists some unspeakable crime by calling this act of terror, exactly what it is (was) is going to hurt our diversity throughout our military, is just not right.

Who is more important here:

or...

Has sort of an Orwellian ring doesn't it.
