Of course some political correctness contributed to this guy being left in the Army so long.
-When I was in the Army and then later in the government I was called on teh caarpet several times for being politically incorrect.
-The problem with political correctness is that it leads to "self censorship." peolpe become ovesensitized to 'saying'or "hearing" anything politically incorrect.
-There was a Dr on TV tonight who went t o classes with this major. This Dr. said Hassan even then would give speeches/papers on US anti-terror operations instead of medical subjects. Why did this continue? Cuz no one had the cahonnes to stop it. Why? ..cus the Counil on American Arab relations , teh ACLU, etc would be all over them.
-That said, the Army and teh nation can't let concern turn to discrimination turn to frenzy. So there is a line we all have to walk if we want America to be America. However,, ...I think we have gone way to far into "self censorship" to the detriment of our core values.
