The price of political correctness.....

Last week, the price of political correctness was 13 dead and 30 wounded soldiers. The body count is off on purpose--the piece of shit who did it doesn't count.

I have been somewhat surprised--although, I shouldn't be--at what the American public seems to assume about life in the military. I have heard the statement, "How could that happen there? Everyone on a base has a gun." False.

"We have thousands of Muslims who serve faithfully in the United States Armed Forces.......must they give up their right to privacy?" True--we have thousands of Muslims who serve faithfully........but WHAT right to privacy?? You take the oath, you forfeit it. We're willing to die for our country--but we give up our rights. Think about that. You get to keep yours--we don't.

What I am happy to see is that, in spite of Obama's exortations to 'not rush to judgment'--the public and the media are calling it what it is: terrorism. Nothing more, and nothing less. What I hope is that the 'investigation' that Obama will launch will NOT convince some of the dimmer ones among us that Major Camel F----- didn't 'contract' PTSD from counseling patients. PTSD isn't like the clap or the flu, kids. I do, however, hope that he contracted PTSD from the brave young woman who put his sorry ass in a coma......still running TOWARD him firing her weapon after having taken two bullets. YOU GO, GIRL!!! (The fact that his assailant is a woman is just icing on the cake to me.......Allahu akhbar.)

Political correctness has no place in the military. It is a destroyer of camaraderie, of brotherhood. I served with Muslims--and I agree: if this man WAS harrassed, the harrasser would have been run out on an Article 92 before you could say 'court martial'. Discharge Under Less Than Honorable Conditions. It simply is not done. During my time in the service, we were initiated into the 'don't ask, don't tell' implemented by Clinton. The armed services weren't asking--but you bet your ass they were TELLING--and not a damn thing was done about it, contrary to what Clinton insisted upon. At least two high ranking officers at Tinker were asked to resign their commission for making a stink when someone in their command--who wasn't 'asked'--but he propositioned people in his own squadron. The squadron was mine, and the propositioner was an E-4. A Senior Airman, because he was a homosexual, and because Clinton thought it was his 'right' to serve........cost a full bird Colonel and a Major General their commission......because both the Colonel and the General basically told the powers that be that their commander in chief could take their commissions and shove it up his ass, since he had such sympathy for those who like to take it in through the out door.

This Airman worked in what we call 'Life Support'--kinda like the facility that the massacre at Fort Hood was carried out in. Deployments overseas were made more difficult.......because of his blatant disobedience to 'don't tell'--he was very forward about his sexuality.......no one wanted to sleep in the same tent as this guy. No one wanted to share a barracks room with him. That sort of disruption has no place in the military......it sure as hell doesn't have one in a combat zone.

Harrassed? I don't think so. I have seen and experienced firsthand how we have to accommodate Muslim beliefs, when we are on THEIR soil, at the request of THEIR government, for THEIR protection. We have to be reverent of prayer times. In Saudi Arabia, my FEMALE ass had to walk around in 120 temperatures with my damned sleeves down--no skin showing!!--so as not to offend their philosophies. And if I did decide to go off base (just a couple of times)--it was the veil for me. And I'm here to tell you: hijab sucks.

We, as a military, are observant of their customs, their beliefs. This piece of shit may have been born in our country.........he took taxpayers' money, went to medical school, avoided deployment, made subversive speeches and presentations; tried to treat his patients with Islamic epithets......and gunned down those he swore to serve with. To protect......not only in the military, but what about his Hippocratic oath? 'First do no harm'? What about that?

Tolerant of them--both on their soil, and on our own. In the name of, and under the auspices of, political correctness. Fort Hood is how we have been repaid for our sensitivities.

Political correctness killed 13 people last week. Let's see how many more people it claims before our government FINALLY wakes up and realizes PC's gotta go--or Muslims who truly live by the PEACEABLE teachings of their faith stand up, speak up, and out the monsters among them.

  1. To play Devil's advocate here;

    What do we do with the Muslims in the US Military. Should they put into segregated units as the Japanese and Blacks were in WW II? I believe that we all should fight as one, but that does not make it so. Any signs of sedition or treason should be met with a bayonet to the throat!

    Great read,

  2. I don't know the answer to that. Maybe segregating them IS the answer, and before anyone starts screaming bloody murder at that statement--THE LIVES OF OUR ARMED FORCES MUST COME BEFORE ANYONE'S HURT FEELINGS. And that is all being politically correct does--it preserve the feelings of those who don't have the good sense to unburden themselves of the large chip that resides on their shoulders.
