Officers May Be Punished for Ft. Hood RampageAs many as eight Army officers may be punished for failing to heed warning signs and take action against suspected Fort Hood gunman Maj. Nidal Hasan, a U.S. official said Thursday.
First reported in the Los Angeles Times, an official familiar with a Pentagon review of the case, which will be discussed at a briefing Friday, said the officers who face discipline hold ranks of colonel and below.
The review reportedly found that superiors allowed Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, to advance within the ranks despite his failings to meet physical and professional standards. Hasan avoided physical training, was overweight and frequently late, but was seen by superiors as a rare medical officer and thus avoided corrective action.
"Had those failings been properly adjudicated, he wouldn't have progressed," the official told the Times. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,583083,00.html

Yeah....and how many of those who are being looked at being punished ....would also have been punished if they had reported Hasan? Would they have gotten in trouble for singling out a Muslim? For racial profiling or prejudical/racist against Muslims...people of middle eastern descent? Of course they would have!! |

Right there with ya Deb. I don't know all the particulars, but this looks like a "Damned if you do, Damned if you don't" situation. I believe that some good men are going to end up being fall boys for PC crap gone wrong.

...and it should make them really willing to step forward in the future. Step forward, you're bust for discrimination....don't and you're busted for dereliction of duty.....so why not just let the damn Muslims run it all. What to do, what to do......OH! I know, frag the Muslims.....if you're gonna ruin your career and go to jail, might as well get your moneys worth. |

It's a no-win situation for a non-Muslim to report/not report. Either way...they are screwed. If they report .... with the current rules/laws against discrimination....they will be the ones in trouble....because technically they would be doing racial discrimination. When the Congress created the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and all the subsequent civil rights legislation....they had no idea that someday we would have jihadist Muslims trying to kill us on a regular basis. Until there is some sort of protection.... put down on paper.....there aren't going to be a whole lot of military people willing to risk their careers reporting someone who may be a wacko Muslim. Ain't going to happen...not in the military or anywhere else. Laws are either going to have to be amended OR there is going to have to be something on paper that will stand up in a court of law protecting the individual who tries to warn against a possible terrorist. Unfortunately....just about anything on paper can be contested in a court of law....and often it gets turned over.  |
