Wahhabist Islam is sedition. Any one in the armed services who espouses same needs to be drummed out.

The incompetent cowardly PC military brass leadership is just as guilty as Hasan. And there are lots of other Hasans on military bases nationwide.

This PC treatment began in earnest under former President George W Bush. Many, many articles were here on FR concerning the policies of that Administration.

This is not new, it is just now in the hands of exploiters of it ... liberals.

Military brass wallow in 'diversity' fetish that caused Fort Hood tragedy and betrayed our troops

With a muzzie in the White Hoouse you didn't really expect them to take any action, did you?

Unfortunately, most of the "Generals" we have now are cut in the panty-waist Weasley Clark mold. They moved up the ranks by pursuing "politically correct" agendas and distancing themselves from any controversy, including making any real decisions or taking any real stands. They have been aware of groups like the muslims, black power etc. for a long time, but they did not want to rock the boat, so they did absolutely NOTHING!

Any way the victims/victims’ families can sue the U.S. Army?

When I saw that general saying that the “loss of diversity” would be a bigger tragedy than the terrorist murders of 14 soldiers, I was literally speechless. If one of those victims was a friend or relative of mine, I would find that general and speak to him personally, whatever the consequences.

It may take a military person to answer this question, but is there an anonymous process through which military personnel could have reported Hasan’s comments? I understand that anonymity would have reduced the consideration given to such complaints, but enough anonymous reports could/would have demonstrated the high likelihood of the threat that was eventually realized through Hasan’s actions.

What began as a move to eliminate racial bigotry in the military has metastasized into quotas and social engineering (e.g. women on combat ships, and pilots like Kara Hultgreen) now known as Political Correctness.

This is no longer "non-discrimination" it is political indoctrination. The radical social engineers started by forcing women into FA (forces afloat)/combat and pilot billets and as a result damaged military readiness and effectiveness.

The political reality of not declaring war against Islam is far from accepting seditious people into the military for the sake of political correctness.

This multicultural diversity pc crap is what kept me from joining the military as a young man over 30 years ago.

I’m sorry that it took the atrocity that was committed at Ft. Hood to wake people up to the presence of political correctness in the military but it has been going on for decades. There are plenty of liberal officers in all branches of the service and it is only their presence and personal leadership that allows these things to happen.

Remember the Tailhook scandal?? In large part it led directly to expansion of the Navy’s “Women at Sea” program that included female sailors being assigned to the flight decks of aircraft carriers and combat aircraft squadrons for the first time.

I was on the USS Eisenhower (CVN-69) in the early 80’s when we were going to have our first operations at sea with females on the flight deck. The Air Boss held Departmental Quarters and told us that if a female sailor were to be walking across the flight deck and about to walk into a propeller, we were free to tackle her to save her life, but if we “touched her tits doing it” we would go straight to the brig.

The flight deck radio “mouse” was rampant with “crack on the flight deck!” calls that cruise...

While there are plenty of women who do serve their Country well, there are plenty more who do not. Many deploy overseas for the first time, find cruising and flight operations not to their liking, and all they need do is find a willing young sperm donor to get a free flight home, leaving a vacant billet at the parent command while they are deployed overseas. It ain’t right, but it happens all the time and has been happening for decades.

PC has many facets.

PC?

Reverse the letters - and we get the grand pubah of PC...Colin Powell- promoted over more deserving peers by Clinton - (remember him, the guy that didn’t graduate from Oxford)?

Despite what the press wrote about Powell, he did nothing except espouse doctrines that sounded good, but meant little or nothing. He did wrap up his career by endorsing probably the biggest limp wristed beta male since Carter.

Anyone know who promoted General Casey to his rank? Did he serve in combat in SEA?

"politically-correct obsession with "diversity" "

This is affecting virtually every major institution in this country. Ruining them. Diversity over being qualified (or even sane in this case).

I was hoping that the military could be counted on to support Free Americans, but I was naive. Of course, as with any army, the upper ranks of the officer corps is interested in one thing - promotion, which requires them to indoctrinate themselves in the current regime’s dogma. I still have hope that the troops are smart enough to see through the propaganda that they are being fed from the top.
