Laocoon and Capys, enemies of diversity

Steve, I share your confidence in the Army's ability to investigate and make course corrections as needed. The Army understands both the concept of responsibility and the concept of continuous learning.

If it comes down to deciding what is important for the Army, I will go with Casey's opinion over yours Rod. You are just venting feelings and ideology. You have no responsibility for the consequences of your rants. He has to be responsible for lives.

Uh, really? So he's going to resign then? Because the diversity doctrine that he's pushing got 12 troops and 1 civilian killed at Ft. Hood.

This whole diversity racket is color awareness, instead of color blindness. It's racism, pure and simple.

When I was in the Army, 20 years ago (in Berlin at the Wall this very night, in fact), we didn't put up with all this diversity nonsense. Then there was only one color in the service: green.

A news report this morning states that “U.S. intelligence official said Monday that ‘there's no sign at this point that the CIA collected information relevant to this case and then simply sat on it.’"

Hasan reportedly did send some emails last year and this year. “A terrorism expert with access to information about the case cautioned against drawing any conclusions from Hasan's communications with Aulaqi. The expert said it appears that Hasan may have contacted the cleric for academic research he was conducting. The correspondence, he said, is "’not a smoking gun, but communications that in hindsight raise some concern.’

‘It obviously suggests that Dr. Hasan was reaching out either for personal or academic reasons, given the nature of his thesis and the work he was preparing to do as a researcher,’ added the expert, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation.”
