Cowards
self | 6NOV09 | Marie

Posted on 11/06/2009 12:42:23 PM PST by Marie

Today, this army wife is mad as hell.

This afternoon I saw an interview on FOX with the Army Chief of Staff, General Casey.

During the Q&A period, every question and answer centered around Combat Stress and suicides among our military.

Not ONE person addressed the FACT that this was an individual practicing his view of Islamic Jihad.

After the press conference, the cameras went back to Shep Smith at the FOX studios. The first thing he said was, “The question on everyone’s mind is, ‘Why did he do this?’”

Why? WHY, you ask??

Let me tell you cowards in the media WHY. Hassan was a Muslim Fundamentalist Extremist. He did it to strike fear and grief in the hearts of Americans. He did it to hurt our military and to further the cause of Islam.

He didn’t do it because he had PTSD, compassion fatigue or combat stress. He is not your average everyday PVT Joe Snuffy.

He is a TERRORIST. He is a terrorist sympathizer. (As indicated by his internet postings.) He is a Muslim Extremist.

And you damn well know it.

Today I am ashamed of our media. I am ashamed of our POTUS. I am ashamed of our leadership.

Those of you who lack the ability to accept and report the truth of this situation are nothing more than cowards who are terrified of giving offense. You do a disservice to the brave men and women who have been killed and injured in your defense.

Stop insulting the solders by implying that they’re all capable of this due to the stress of war. Stop insulting our military by implying that they don’t take care of our troops.

Grow a pair and call it what it is - TERRORISM.

Yes, but , we have to do this now, just like with the Japs during WW II.

Sorry , it's not PC, I know, but like Eddie Egan (French Connection) says, "It's just reality, get used to it, it 's not going away".

But nothing, NOTHING, p*sses me off like the call I got from my son a little while ago. His unit is deploying to Afghanistan in January. He told me they’re all referring to their deployment as “two months til their deaths”.

“YOUR GROUP has a problem. I'm not stereotyping YOU, you're allowing yourselves to be the stereotype.”

They need to self-police. It's not up to us to "treat them as individuals" when they won't clean up the cause of the stereotypes.

Same goes for other groups with negative stereotypes - clean it up yourself, make a NEW stereotype.

Asians are stereotyped as good at academics.
Is that "racist"?

God bless you, Marie.

You're absolutely right; this was a jihad attack. It's disgusting to watch the media and the government (but then I repeat myself) dancing around this and attributing it to "PTSD" or "combat stress" when it is SO OBVIOUS that it was a Muslim terrorist attack.

Once these sham hearings start we need to start asking our elected idiots how they plan on preventing future shooting sprees against our troops IF THEY ARE IGNORING THE ACTUAL REASON MUSLIM TERRORISTS ARE TARGETING THEM!!!

. . . . .treat them as individuals"?

They are not individuals!

That is essentially the problem!!

America is for individuals, it's part of the program!

If your not an individual, scram, split, go somewhere else where that crap flys!

Get out!

Thank you for your thoughts Marie.

This was definitely another outrageous act of violence perpetrated by an Islamic devotee. He is also a self-professed Muslim extremist.

I do think this guy was capable of being a terrorist, and this may be the outward manifestation of that.

I lean toward thinking that this was more the act of one guy angry that he was about to be deployed, and that his act was intended to inflict the maximum pain on the military and military personel for the inconvenience to him.

He served a long time in the military, during which he took a pass on terrorism. When the violence was perpetrated, it was when he was being demanded to do something he didn’t like.

Well sorry you Islamic puke, you didn’t mind taking our money when it paid for your education did you.

Whether this was an outright act of terrorism or not, and you may be right here, it was something that the Islamic leaders do not condemn as forcefully as they should. I get the impression that tacit approval does exist.

That to me is the damning part of this sordid mess.

Where is the unequivocal across the board condemnation of this that doesn’t include some sort of reason why this guy did what he did? After all, there is no reason whatsoever for this.

His cousin expressed remorse, then offered up claims of name calling. He also mentioned that he was being forced to go to Iraq. So that warrants this? Hell no it doesn’t.

CAIR also expressed remorse, but I didn’t hear it so I’m not sure if they also lofted excuses. I’d suspect they did.

These people have a sick twisted mindset. Call me a name and all bets are off. Make me adhere to my agreement to serve and all bets are off. What a sick mentality. And you know what, they don’t seem to comprehend this at all.

If my family member did something like this, I would express the most humble remorse I possibly could. That’s what my comments would start with, continue on with, and end with.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all our members of the military today, and by extension their families. God bless you all.
