The jihadist Major Nidal Malik Hasan's attack on servicemen at Ft. Hood once again proves that we face a deranged enemy that must be defeated.
However, the real story here is America's willing cooperation in its own defeat. A half-century of hyper-sensitive political correctness is beginning to take a serious toll on our country. My point is well encapsulated by the statement of the Army Joint Chiefs of Staff, General George Casey, following the incident:
Our diversity not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.
Yes, you heard that right. Losing our "diversity" (which apparently is defined by having a known Islamist sympathizer in a high-ranking army position) would be worse than losing the 13 servicemen that were mercilessly gunned down at Ft. Hood.
Frankly, this statement amazes even me. In this day and age in America, it is deemed more important to have impeccable multicultural "diversity" credentials than it is to protect the lives of our citizens and servicemen. If a few people have to die in the name of "diversity", then so be it!
General Casey should be removed from his position for his insensitive and downright dangerous view on this incident. I won't hold my breath, as I'm pretty sure his boss shares the opinion.
