There's a lot to respond to in your post but I think the firing of Casey, which will never happen with our current CIC, would send the message that in fact the military cares more about the safety of their personnel than in diversity or political correctness. Then maybe the next time a person exhibits the same behaviors as Hassan the command will have the courage to respond rather than cowering in fear over how it will impact their career.

No one is talking about ending "diversity" in the military but frankly going out of our way to recruit Muslims or whatever desired class should not be a goal. The military should not be a test tube for promoting whatever the latest cause is and should be a place where we have the best and brightest candidates and stop worrying about whether we have enough of one religion or another.

And stop with the Tim McVeigh nonsense! He wasn't a Christian terrorist and that is just the kind of inane crap you will hear on PMSNBC. Tim McVeigh in letters written from prison claimed to be agnostic. He may have been raised in a Christian household but nothing he did had anything to do with his faith and everything to do with his anti-government stance. This moral equivalency between Muslims and Christians on the issue of terrorist acts is the most intellectually dense, stupid and indefensible position usually relegated to the loony left. You should know better.

On the issue of prosecuting someone for something they say it is done all the time. I suggest you make threats against the President of the U.S. and you will find out exactly what the government can do to you because of what you say. Should they have arrested this guy and thrown him in prison for what he said? No. Should they have given him a general discharge and put him on the FBI watch list? I think the answer to that in hindsight is patently obvious to anyone except the loony left. In foresight, he should have at least been discharged from the military. No if's, and's or but's. It is really that simple.
