WHAT VETERANS DAYS LOOK LIKE NOW

Here’s my Veterans Day Question: which Obama Administration official approved of letting Hasan chat with al Qaeda? Or did the president approve it himself?

Especially since the Pentagon now says nobody told them.

And how can we expect Muslims to weed out their Islamists if the US Army doesn’t even weed out its Islamists? In fact, we promote them. That sends a clear and unmistakable message:

“Don’t Bother”.

Obama just gave a pretty speech at Ft. Hood in which he didn’t even say “terror”, just like his Berlin Wall video didn’t mention Reagan. I’d rather he gave bad speeches and had good policies. Instead, by not even using the word, he’s saying he’s going to keep all the PC policies that will guarantee more terrorism.

Col. Peters:

Our politically correct Army plays along. Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey won’t utter the word “terrorism.” The Forces Command Public Affairs Office guidance for officers never mentions “Islam” or “terror,” leaving you unsure whether there was a traffic accident down at Fort Hood, or maybe an outbreak of swine flu.

Hasan made a six-figure income. And he was single, without college loans or medical bills. Has anybody asked where the money went? I’ll bet a chunk of it disappeared in cash donations to hard-core Islamist causes. Will a single journalist track the missing bucks?

A dirty big secret in our Army has been that officers’ promotion boards have quotas for minorities. We don’t call them quotas, of course. But if a board doesn’t hit the floor numbers, its results are held up until the list has been corrected. It’s almost impossible for the Army’s politically correct promotion system to pass over a Muslim physician.

By protecting the fanatics, we betray the peaceful majority of our Muslim citizens, leaving them afraid to speak out, since the feds shield the fanatics in charge of their mosques and communities.

If Hasan had given the same presentations to his mosque that he gave to his Army colleagues, we’d demand that the mosque renounce him or be shuttered. Instead, we gave him a Get-Out-of-Gitmo-Free card and more weapons training.

Now that the Dept. of Homeland Security has failed to secure the homeland, it says it will vigorously guard against a backlash aimed at Muslims.

Fine–but how about first vigorously guarding against a Islamist forelash aimed at our troops?

Remember this?:

“The report is not saying that veterans are extremists. Far from it,” Napolitano said on CNN’s State of the Union. “What it is saying is returning veterans are targets of right-wing extremist groups that are trying to recruit those to commit violent acts within the country. We want to do all we can to prevent that.”

But do you want to do “all we can” to prevent Islamist groups from trying to recruit veterans?

‘Cos, you know, it doesn’t really seem like it, Janet.

Kate at Small Dead Animals also snarks that O.J. has offered to help find the “real” motive. Kate says Allahu Akbar: It’s The New “Cry For Help”.

Same with PTSD, Kate: that’s Post-Titty-bar Stress Disorder: The New “Bad Hair Day”.

So Happy Bad Hair Day to all veterans. We sincerely thank you for your service to us and to our nation. I mean that.

And I mean this, too: we look forward to the day when no more veterans are attacked on the battlefields of American military bases because the Beltway Establishment chose Political Correctness over the lives of veterans and soldiers.

UPDATE: Remember how German-Americans were allowed to write private letters to family-members in the German High Command back during World War II?

Me neither:

A senior government official tells ABC News that investigators have found that alleged Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan had “more unexplained connections to people being tracked by the FBI” than just radical cleric Anwar al Awlaki. The official declined to name the individuals but Congressional sources said their names and countries of origin were likely to emerge soon.

Questions already surround Major Hasan’s contact with Awlaki, a radical cleric based in Yemen whom authorities consider a recruiter for al Qaeda. U.S. officials now confirm Hasan sent as many as 20 e-mails to Awlaki. Authorities intercepted the e-mails but later deemed them innocent or protected by the first amendment.

Evidently those boys at Bastogne were fighting for the right to send G-mails to Goering.

Who knew?
