Another one from Jane Austin.

Yannow, one of the things that really pissed me off about the Fort Hood killings, besides the Army ignoring all the red flags about this dude, and promoting him rather than kicking him out of the Army, was General Casey talking about "diversity in the Army". WTF? Who gives a crap about diversity in the freaking Army other than brain dead libs? All I care about in the Army are people who are good at killing our enemies.
Posted by denny at November 17, 2009 03:28 PMYou are exactly right and every time we go into a conflict we get our hands tied so bad we cant do our damn jobs.....Finding and killing the bad guys.
This man's Army has gone straight down the shitter. I miss the old Army and want it back. No more of this happy feel good P/C shit.
Suspicion of Muslims isn't the problem; Muslim intolerance of others' opinions is the problem. And diversity isn't the answer; common sense is the answer. To Muslims, the whole idea of multiculturalism ultimately comes down to "my way or the highway." To them, Islam and its followers cannot be blamed or criticized for anything, while Western societies are to blame for everything.
The original settlers of what became the United States were gun-carrying, Bible-toting, narrow-minded, self-sufficient farmers and merchants. They did a pretty good job for a couple hundred years. They weren't out necessarily to create a country where people could become better through tolerance and patience of medieval attitudes. They wanted to create a place where people could become anything they wanted to so long as it didn't interfere with anybody else's plans. As far as they were concerned, the fundamental human right was to be able to do whatever the hell you wanted without nuisance regulations and suffocating taxes from tyrants and kings.
Today we have an atmosphere supported by all three branches of our government in which the majority must be nice to the oddballs and not offend Muslims or atheists or terrorists. Anything which might be offensive to a Muslims, who represent perhaps .01% of the US population, can get you arrested or sued or at least fined. But the Muslim, or the atheist, isn't required to accept any Christian's or Jew's or Buddhists symbols or beliefs.
Liberals want everyone to sit down and have a glass of sweet tea together and be part of some glorious diversity and multiculturalism which isn't even willing to give people who believe in non-Muslim laws and traditions any consideration at all. When we were a "melting pot," we tended to win our wars and export goods, technology, and investment to the world. Today we have diversity and multiculturalism and our trade deficit is enormous, our technology is used against us, and we owe our grandchildren's souls to the Red Chinese.

How's that shit working out for you guys?
If the Army's all about "diversity" what's all this shit about fucking uniforms?

Posted by: patrick on November 17, 2009 10:20 PMOur president has given us a great lesson in diversity.
White Cop answeres 911 call. Arrests Blackman.
White Cop is stupid. (Of course media relates that to racisim.)
Muslim guns down dozens at military base. Kills 13. Let's not rush to judgment.
Now that's diversity.
Thanks for the lesson Mr President.

Posted by: TWoPolitics on November 18, 2009 08:12 AMDear TWoPolitics:
AMEN, AMEN, AMEN. Let's bring back old "Blood and Guts." Let's make it THEIR blood and guts that run in the streets, not ours, or our soldiers and civilians at Ft Hood.
Patton was, is, and always will be my number one example of a REAL soldier.
