Really, now. If a soldier is "insubordinate" when a war has just begun, "cashier" him or arrest him. DO NOT LET HIM GUARD A GRENADE DEPOT, especially if he is a muslim.

For those who don't know, "Beltway Sniper" John Muhammad was strongly suspected of tossing a grenade (phosphorus, I think) into a tent of *his* fellow sleeping soldiers.

You know, BushMeister, we may win this war in Iraq. But we will eventually lose our country because our leaders, on principle, will not condemn the guilty. It is a sad truth. Every time Bush stands shoulder to shoulder with a representative from CAIR or other anti-American group, we are losing the battle. Bush is a multi-culturalist and as such cannot take a strong stand against the enemies within.

Wasn't John Muhammed the Beltway Sniper once an Army engineer? Maybe Akbar knew Muhammed. There was an Egyptian involved in the 1993 WTC bombing who had enlisted in US Army Special Forces. There may be Islamic Jihadists serving in the United States Armed Forces.

This still makes me shake my head. Wtf were they thinking?

Beltway John, as I refer to the sniper dude...was accused of the act but no one saw him throw the grenade, so the CD guys basically gave up and the Army found other ways to ensure his future with them was limited.

As for insubordination....I have an open mind about this subject...it depends greatly on what the guy is insubordiante about...if his child is dying...I can understand...but if you changed your religion and decided you can't fight one particuliar group or society...well, you need to go find a job with Taco Bell. The pledge you make when you enlist....says all enemies, foreign and domestic.

You are right. We do some really strange things in the name of PC.
