....first known U.S. soldier to be detained in the U.S.-led war on terror.....

How about the frag bomber in Kuwait? He is still "detained"

Although I am not a statistician, I think the odds that 2 active duty Muslims have been the only 2 U.S. soldiers caught actively killing or working against the U.S. military is a red flag. I know, Iknow, there are probably others (i.e. non-Muslims) who are working against U.S. interests. But, the fact remains, 100% of the people caught in the last couple of years are Muslims. Although a scant sample, it seems that Muslims just cannot be trusted to put country ahead of its 15th century religious philosophy (or contemporary political philosphy).

One solution would be to not accept Muslims into the armed forces (or intelligence, etc.) branches of the U.S. - I know, there are some good law-abiding Muslims out there - so what? Let them root out the bad apples and do with them what they may. However, as an operating procedure, do not accept Muslims - period.

Yee left the Army in the mid-1990s for Syria, where he received religious training. He returned to the U.S. military soon after.

When did Yee marry? Where is his wife? Does he have children? When did he convert to Islam?

He said Yee "is the first U.S. soldier that I know of to be detained and held since the war on terror began."

There's also Sgt. Akbar.

If found guilty, lock him up and throw away the key!

A West Point grad no less. And why is there an Islamic Center at Ft Lewis? This PC garbage is going to get more Americans killed!

Bye Bye Yee Yee, you Islamic fascist, thanks for playing.
