Where he identifies himself as a Soldier of Allah(SWT) Can anyone explain his military calling card
He can start by telling us who appointed him to his DHS transition team and who promoted him to Major in May.
Check the archive, there’s a thread that said he wasn’t ‘on’ the team, but he was involved in some way. If I wasn’t using the blackberry right now, I’d go search for it....

IIRC, the promotion came after completion of his internship, residency and fellowship, which is SOP I believe. The fact that he was at Walter Reed for all six years completing them is disturbing, to say the least.
He wasn't appointed to the DHS transition team. He was one of the "finest minds" selected to be on the The George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute (HSPI) "Presidental Transition Task Force." It was a conference set up by "a nonpartisan “think and do” tank."
"With the historic Administration change in January, HSPI assembled a Presidential Transition Task Force composed of some of the finest minds in the country to leverage their expert insights into today’s most pressing matters of national and homeland security. The goal was to further policy discussions of the top strategic security priorities that command the attention of the new Administration. To push the boundaries of our thinking, the Task Force received briefings from subject-matter experts and launched a series of roundtable discussions, “Thinking Anew – Security Priorities for the Next Administration” to further consider vital security issues. Other events include a distinguished panel addressing terrorism finance issues, and several events with leading British and American experts on counter-radicalization and rehabilitation at home and abroad."
It was a privately-sponsored event, entirely separate from DHS and the Obama transition team.
As for the promotion -- it's been said by dozens of sources that it was an "automatic" for an Army doctor. The Army brass is answerable for that.
And I'm not defending Obama in any way. It's avoiding reality, though, to focus blame solely on one person, branch or institution for this -- there were a whole lot of people who passed the buck, or worse, in this case. Now 14 people, including an unborn child, are dead due to their dereliction and the worship of PC platititudes.
