"'If we can't accurately describe who the enemy is, how can we win a war?'"
The U.S. Army has further punished a highly respected and decorated officer in the wake of Muslim groups complaining about the approved course he taught on radical Islam at National Defense University.
In October, WND reported Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley was fired from his position at the school for the way he conducted a class on how to respond to a variety of scenarios instigated by radical Muslims. A visitor to the class found the discussions offensive to Muslims and informed some 57 Islamic organizations, which then complained to Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In addition to the firing, Gen. Dempsey promptly orchestrated a negative Officer Evaluation Report against Dooley that deeply tarnished a career that had received only sterling reviews from West Point through nearly 20 years in the service. Dempsey never discussed the incident with Dooley.
On Sunday, the Washington Times reported Dooley has been punished again, this time as he pursued the role of battalion commander. According to the Times, an Army command selection board studied Dooleys record and candidacy for a command assignment. The five-member panel agreed to keep Dooley under consideration. Shortly thereafter, Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, who at the time was Army vice chief and subsequently became head of U.S. Central Command, overruled the board in a brief memo. His actions could effectively spell the end of Dooleys career.
There was no reason given, and thats also a very disturbing aspect of it, said Richard Thompson, president of the Thomas More Law Center, who is representing Dooley in his original appeal of his firing and negative review. The way theyre treating him now is not only a total .....

Thete's a message in this concerning a necessary separation between religious nuts and government.
So a black general who got ahead by affirmative action turns on America. The ungrateful bastard!
I looked up Gen. Martin Dempsey's bio. He's 61 and has never been married.
Add my name to those who would have stood with you in that theater the day you said a fervent Muslim in the ranks preaching Islam & death to “infidels” constituted a threat.
We’ve already got one of those - Nidal Hasan who I would love to have dissed in person before I retired (that would have been worth a court-martial!). Look how he is coddled (yes, that’s the term) because of his religion and unlikely to ever face justice.
“I have a dream” - and that’s all it is - that there are underground groups forming in the military made up of those who are fed up with the pro-muzzie PC infecting the chain of command. Were it to become a movement with a name, I’d call it “CHRISTIAN RESPONSE”.
Anybody game?
One board member would "know" the person and would make comments like "Well, he / she is an upcoming minority in the ranks".
Since I was the senior SGM in Texas, I asked one "WTF difference does a person's race have to do with qualifications"? Never got an answer.
But not unexpected. Barely two months into being CG CENTCOM and he already sets the agenda: Whitey Need Not Apply.
I dug a little into Austin’s career track.
West Point Class of ‘75 (tell me that’s not AA). Company-grade during the Carter years and the Hollow Army. After a brief time as platoon leader, he began a series of staff assignments and recruiter gigs that allowed him to pad his resume.
Recruiter command. TAC officer at the Academy. Staff and school during Desert Storm. By the time of the RIF in 1989-90, his resume was bulletproof: his commissioning source alone (USMA) insulated him from the cuts.
One BN command tour, then more staff and school, then sleeping by the flagpole for joint staff.
This guy’s a ticket-puncher.
Dang, just by your single experience, I would say that we are getting hung by our own rope. I have a quote from my profile page by Gertt Wilders that I like to re-post:
Multiculturalism made us tolerate the intolerant, and now intolerance is annihilating tolerance. -Gertt Wilders
This evil phony Obama has cast a spell over the nation and few believe the muslims are here to destroy us and that sycophantic, complicit military types are in cahoots with the central socialist government that gives them all a free ride.
Some of us are so damned stupid they believe the government ‘works’ for us. But we just sit and watch this nation go to hell. Our common sense flew out the window as the evil illegal treaspassers and soulless homosexuals, lesbians and lazy good-for-nothing loafers put this lying phony piece of crap back in for four more years!
Obama has perpetrated more evil directed at us in the last 4 months than he did in 4 years and he’s free now to complete his assignment as he knows no one will do anything to stop him in his tracks.
Self-ping

“You’re in the Army now.
You’re not behind the plow.
You’ll never get rich by digging a ditch.
You’re in the Army now.”
I knew we were in serious trouble when the memorandum came down saying that it wasn’t fair to evaluate Soldiers based on their performance in combat.

The Kenyan-born muzzie is 100 percent responsible for this BS.
AMEN BROTHER!!!
Agreed!!! I hate affirmative action promotions in any field but Military promotions should be merit only. Any Military man/woman worth his/her salt should be able to see what "O" and his admin are doing and if they can not stand up and honor their oath of supporting and defending the Constitution and the people they serve, then step the f^c% down, you do not belong there!!!!
there is no way in hell will my boys ever join the military under this Govt and the PC affirmative action crap they have done.
Homosexuals
cross dressing, yes one officer in Afghanistan was wearing a dress
women in combat
women in submarines when space is already limited
PC correctness for any kind of jokes now
VA is in shambles
and even the AD’s for the marines and Navy are a joke on TV
Navy states who they are there for peace and democracy around the world and how they go for fairness and no discrimination
The marines start by having marines storm a beach and then give out frigging aid.
The military has become a joke, , what with PC, affirmative and many joining for their freebies today
Not the Army of Washington or Patton.
