This trial is going to be Obama and Gen. Dempsey’s worst nightmare because Lt. Col. Dooley can present every DOD/JCS fuckup since the beginning of the Afghan operations where “political correctness”, i.e. new “Rules of Engagement” results in American and Allied soldiers being needlessly killed or wounded.
Then he will end up with “work place disaster” re the Ft. Hood Massacre and how the military has referred to Major Hassan. No sane Court Martial panel would ever convict him of anything except being a superb, prescient patriot.
Any bets that the trial will not take place, esp. if Romney gets elected.
I fully expect Romney etc to purge the Army, Navy, and some of the Air Force for stupid PCness and cowardice. A lot of Obama’s asskissers will be seeking early retirement if Romney gets in.
A lot of families of KIA soldiers will be seeking lawsuits about the same time.
Gonna get dicey for the Brass who caved in to Political Correctness and combat stupidity.
Who is Charles Martel?
Be careful of your expectations.
Mitt Romney has no military experience but much business experience. Businesses learn that ‘PC’ is important. Don’t expect much.
The court-martial of Lt. Col. Dooley will open up one royal can of worms for the perfumed princes of the Pentagon. Gen. Dempsey committed an act of monumental dhimmitude inspired stupidity when he condemned LTC Dooley by name.
But yes, this trial may never take place, just like the court-martial of the jihadi murderer Nidal Malik Hasan will be delayed until the witnesses die of old age. Too much political correctness at stake, too many enforcers of PC will get their names put up in lights when a blizzard of subpoenas are issued by the court.
My wife & I are retired military. Just learned that one of her former colleagues got reamed in writing for criticizing the repeal of DADT. It’s a changed Army, for sure.
