Army Jumps the Shark
Yes, you've read this already on a hundred other blogs, but the Army's chief is concerned about Muslims.
General George Casey Jr., the Army chief of staff, said on Sunday that he was concerned that speculation about the religious beliefs of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, accused of killing 12 fellow soldiers and one civilian and wounding dozens of others in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, could “cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers.”He's asked his officers to be on the lookout for a "backlash"; meanwhile, it looks like he never asked anyone to be on the lookout for jihad. Casey says that he's afraid that "diversity became a casualty"; no matter how many people get murdered, diversity must remain. That an Army general is capable of muttering such Orwellian blather speaks volumes to how far we are gone.
“I’ve asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that,” General Casey said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union. “It would be a shame — as great a tragedy as this was — it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well.”
“A diverse Army gives us strength,” General Casey, who visited Fort Hood Friday, said on “This Week.”Priceless, beyond parody.
Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican, chimed in:
“I mean does every soldier who shows discontent with the war and every soldier that has had a bad performance report — what are we going to do with those folks?” Sen. Graham said. “At the end of the day, maybe this is just about him. It’s certainly not about his religion, Islam.”We're lost.
He added: “To those members of the United States military who are Muslims, thank you for protecting our nation, thank you for standing up against the people who are trying to hijack your religion.”
