Military jihadists fill 'every branch':
Ultimate 5th column penetration, warns best-selling 'Muslim Mafia'
[A] growing number of other Muslim American soldiers as well as civilian contractors have put their religion before their duty. Some like Hasan have killed, or tried to kill, their fellow soldiers. Others have infiltrated the military in order to undermine it and aid and comfort the enemy.

And of course Fox getting in on the act.
"Do you think it's time for the military to have special debriefings of Muslim Army officers, anybody enlisted? Because if I'm gonna be deployed in a foxhole, if I'm gonna be sitting in an outpost, I gotta know the guy next to me is not gonna wanna kill me," Kilmeade said.

Pathetic and ugly. If the military has any integrity whatsoever it will put a stop to this.

Chris Matthews just implied that modern warfare is much harder on soldiers than wars have ever been before because they are under so much more stress.
[snip]
But the idea that these wars in Iraq and Afghanistan worse than wars have been in the past is simply mind-boggling. Has Matthews ever heard of Guadalcanal? Or Verdun?

Those guys were in those trenches and were shelled for months on end. And every once in a while they'd get an order to go up over the top of the trench to be mowed down. It destroyed nearly an entire generation, either by death, injury or shell shock (PTSD).
[snip]
But the problem with Matthews and other pampered gasbags is that they apparently think war is some sort of a pageant and never fully grasp that war is always about lethal, bloody violence. Which is why we shouldn't do it unless there is absolutely no choice. Using it to "send messages" or "protect the country's prestige" not only kills the other, it kills your own --- and not just on the battlefield. It kills them back home when these men and women and their loved ones have to deal with the destruction this lethal violence wreaks on their minds and spirits.
It's the abstractness of the discussion that drives me crazy. And it's why I do feel that those who want to fight these proxy wars to "project power" should be forced to fight them personally. It is apparently the only way they will ever understand what their support for these abstract policies really mean to the people on both sides who fight them.
That's called hitting the bullseye.
All you right-wing keyboard commando trolls who flitter around here all day should let those few paragraphs rattle around in your empty heads for a little while and maybe you'll understand what she's talking about. I doubt it but for the sake of everyone who actually has to carry a gun and kill or be killed it's worth repeating. Forever and ever until you learn the truth of it if that's even possible which I seriously doubt.
"your level" not "you're".
Anyhow I'm out.
Gotta go help a friend move some furniture if you get my meaning.
only thing I'm protesting is you're level of rank stupidity and obvious bigotry.
But you keep on believing his sexual orientation is relevant to something. What it would be I can't for the life of me fathom, but then again I'm not a complete moron like you.
If I was as clueless as you I might have missed the point too.
Here I'll spell it out in crayon--someone's propensity for perpetrating violence upon others has ZERO to do with race, religion, or ethnicity but there does appear to be some evidence that it is overall lower by gender.
Simple enough for even the dixie cup full of drool set to understand.
with one or two exceptions (why you hate Harleys being one of them) I get you bro. I'm just trying to riff with you a bit.
My timing just isn't as good and I'm not nearly as funny so maybe it comes off like I don't get that you're goofing around.
My apologies. I won't try stepping, in, on, or around your rap anymore.
I'm not sure how you find the time to post anymore being a pops and having a new keyboard.
Priorities my man.
A person doesn't need a "motive" when they snap. They simply lash out at perceived threats or oppressors.
As a trained MD, who may not have wanted to be deployed for whatever reason, he was in a perfect position to see the signs of an impending break and submit himself for treatment which would have precluded his deployment.
Tragic and sad. Violence never solves anything. When will human beings ever learn.
Nice. Speculatively positing that suppressed sexual orientation gives rise to violence.
The terms ignorant and dumbass come to mind, but that might be too kind.
Dirt stupid bigot is probably a better fit.
He had an hispanic last name if I recall from the "reports".
Of course only brown/black folks kill people, with the exception of Dr. Tiller's assailants and eventual murderer, Timothy McVeigh, the Unabomber, Charles Manson, The Green River Killer, The Columbine Boys, The Klan, Hitler, Stalin, [insert 90% of all serial killers], . . . because good white folks would never do nothing like that.
Brown/black people and particularly Muslims are by conservative definition shiftless, untrustworthy, lazy, irrational, violence prone, welfare grifters just lying in wait to pounce on THE MAN for all of the falsely perceived injustices that have been visited upon them for generations.
Because they've got nothing better to do with there lives than worrying about settling old scores. It's in their DNA--the retributive violence gene is #73218 I think. So far they've only identified it in non-whites and non-Christians. You aren't calling "science" a liar are you?
