MDN,
"had we been able to profile people, had we been able to call the war on terrorism the "war on the Islamic religion"
Actually, there's a glimmer of truth in this spew. You are wrong about the profiling; Hasan profiled himself back in VA during school and at Walter Reed. He essentially was waving his arms stating 'I'm radicalized, I'm dangerous, I'm not drinking your Kool Aid.' Some complained, they were ignored.
The GWOT is not a war on Islam. If it were, it'd be over by now and Mecca, Medina, and other areas of Saudi Arabia would be so much brittle glass by now.
Your whole victim rant doesn't make much sense. If anything, Hasan's a victim of an Army personnel system gone bad (worse ? ); he was actively engaged in trying to get out, even hired a lawyer.
Uh, I pretty much stated the guy was victim of many things, I victim of the army, maybe, I dont know enough to argue that. Officers are and should be held to a higher standard, this man was not, why, was it a defect in the army system or does it have something to do with the politics of promotions, does this have something to do with many officers using the career in the army as a spring board into politics. If we do not question this than we are at fault for not looking at the problem every way possible in order to understand every possibility. I am not some idiot that simply states this happened for one reason and one reason only.
Maybe you wish to be critical of the Army, maybe you hate the army maybe not, I will not be so narrow minded that I am not considering every possible factor.
Anyone who does not allow for all the various factors will never understand the complex truth.
First and foremost is Islam, Second is this mans interpetation of Islam, Third this man identified himself as a Sunni, fourth the terrorists involved in 9/11 were all Sunni, fifth there is political correctness in all aspects of an officers conduct, sixth, seventh.
You cannot state my post is a rant, this man is victim, you even concede he may be victim, a little contradictory on your part.
Many parts make a puzzle, I listed many parts and each part plays a part.
No one can dismiss one thing I state otherwise they begin to narrow their ability to analyize the cause and effects this man suffered.
Sure, people can just snap, this man did not just wake and snap, we see many things, many events, tiny when they stand alone, tiny if they were the rant of a burger flipper at mcdonalds, but given the mans education, his wealth, his ability to make money, his prestige as an officer, his training, than all these "rants" show how and why this event happened.
Liberalism, we must accept everyone unconditionally (except white middle aged conservatives).
And that is the burr, Liberal/Marxist would of loved if this was a Catholic, it was not, hence we see an attack on christians. You see the articles and headlines on USA today, "expect backlash against Moslems", I read the paper and already they are twisting the story to make conservatives and the military the bad guy.
According to the media this man is a victim, I state the man is a victim and I am wrong.
Talk about twisted logic.
