To make things better you need to first admit there is a problem. There is a problem if Islamic terrorists are infiltrating our military don't you think? And by infiltration I include not only entering our military under the guise of loyal American and entering the military by radicalizing existing soldiers. So if we can actually admit that this guy was an Islamic terrorist then maybe we will not be so influenced by political correctness and a desire for diversity that a person exhibiting his behavior would get bounced.

As details emerge it appears that our military is more like a university campus than a military. Two points. First, apparently the guy in what was supposed to be a medical lecture stated that infidels (that would be you and I) should be beheaded and hot oil poured down their necks. Now in your local mosque this kind of talk is all the rage but for a man in the military to make such statements you would think it would generate some discussion and action. I can assure you if it was a Baptist doctor and he stated that all abortionists should be beheaded and hot oil poured down their necks he would be out of the military in a heartbeat.

Second, apparently one of the senior military leaders was quoted as saying he hoped that another victim of this tragedy wasn't diversity. This is the kind of idiocy you expect from a university professor, not a military commander. But that's what political correctness has done to us. Can you imagine if during WWII a Japanese-American soldier talks openly about the defeat of the U.S., then takes his gun and shouting tora, tora, tora as he opens fire at Ft. Hood and Eisenhower saying, "Gosh, that's a shame if this means an end to diversity in the military!" Somehow I doubt it.

Howard's book called the Death of Common Sense could not have predicted we would fall this far this fast.
