You know, I’m totally ok with diversity as long as those diverse service members actually support this country. Anyone, regardless of race, religion, and/or gender, who expresses anti-American sentiments or who has ties to known terrorists should NOT be eligible to serve. With all of the assessment tools used in the military, surely there is a tool available to assess for ACTUAL support of country, not just lip service so U.S. taxpayers will pay for medical school.
Even IF the Army spent half a million to educate this guy...They were still stupid not to let him leave!
Either cancel his Iraq tour, and let him quietly leave the Army IF they don’t want to court martial the guy for treasonous comments. Then follow him after his discharge with the CIA ...Oh, wait, they WERE following him!
This was like a very very bad Mack Sennet comedy that turned tragic.
