Serving in the US military is for chumps if even our people won't be honest about threats to our lives

Reader comment on item: Maj. Hasan's Islamist Life

Submitted by Charles Martel (United States), Nov 20, 2009 at 11:28

General Casey's disgusting quote about it being a greater tragedy if US military "diversity" suffered after the slaughter still rings in my ears.

I would now discourage anyone from serving, a complete reversal of my earlier position -- why join an organization in which you are likely to be deployed to either of two feckless Moslem nation-building quagmires and may get slaughtered by a crazed Moslem in your own ranks because no one had the balls to say what was obviously brewing in the demon Major's head.
