Sometimes, my Army and government leadership is despicable. This is one of those times.

.
There can be little doubt that the United States Army bears some level of responsibility for the actions of terrorist Maj. Nidal Hassan, MD, who slaughtered innocents and unarmed soldiers because he was a muslim jihadist.

I hold the army generally, and people like LTC Melanie Guerrero, MD, particularly liable because they were responsible for passing this piece of shit along because he wasn't white and they were terrified about being called "racist," or in Guerrero's case,

So, just for giggles, I checked one of the more egregious slimeballs, one Lieutenant Colonel Melanie Guerrero, to see if any action (Like a court martial and dishonorable discharge) had been taken against her.

Nope. She's still in, still at Walter Reed and still in a position to infest the military with her idiocy.

The next time the leadership of the US Military is looking around, scratching their collective asses, trying to figure out why so few, relatively speaking, seek mental health help for their trauma and PTSD, they might want to look hard at this quote:

One of Hasan's commanding officers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Lieutenant Colonel Melanie Guerrero, told investigators she had considered failing him as an intern but "decided to allow him to pass since he was going into psychiatry and would not be doing any real patient care."

If I could wave my magic wand, LTC Guerrero would immediately be reassigned to a Manila whorehouse, treating syphilitics where she so obviously belongs. But I would not let her within 5 miles of anyone serving in the military today.

This sorry bitch needs to be relieved IMMEDIATELY, and then she needs to both be kicked out, AND required to repay the Army (meaning us taxpayers) for all of the money we WASTED in training HER dumb ass and promoting HER idiotic efforts to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

This issue is even separate from the stupidity of just passing someone, not because they deserved it, BUT BECAUSE THIS MORON DIDN'T THINK THEY'D BE PRACTICING REAL MEDICINE.

The least we can do is acknowledge the truth.  But my Army can't even do that.

The least we can do is acknowledge the truth.  But my Army won't even acknowledge that, for this moment in time, Ft. Hood was as much a combat zone as Baghdad.

The least we can do is acknowledge the truth.  But my Army and our government refuses to acknowledge the killed and wounded at Ft. Hood are combat loss, that the killed and wounded are deserving of combat benefits, that the killed and wounded are deserving of our nation's gratitude, our nations combat  casualty benefits, and our nation's Purple Heart Medal.

That my Army and my government fails to do this is an insult to those involved who spilled their blood as a result of a treasonous, cowardly terrorist attack.  They sacrificed themselves as my country sacrifices our honor in these tiny baby steps, with much larger strides away from what we are supposed to stand for to come.

Despicable.

The Senseless Cop-Out on Jihad

The Army honored a fallen hero of the Ft. Hood Jihad Massacre with a medal this week. Not, of course, that the Army describes the November 2009 attack in such meaningful terms. Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan may have shouted “Allahu Akbar”; (Arabic for “Allah is great”) as he killed 14 and wounded more than two dozen; may have been in contact with jihad cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and frequented jihadist websites; may have had business cards proclaiming himself a “SoA” (Soldier of Allah); and may have created and presented an Islamically correct PowerPoint brief outlining reasons for jihad by Muslims within the U.S. Armed Forces, but no matter. His actions remain a total mystery to the U.S. Army.

To wit: “Although we may never know why it happened, we do know that heroic actions took place that day,” Brig. Gen. Joseph DiSalvo said in presenting the Secretary of the Army Award for Valor to Joleen Cahill, widow of Michael Grant Cahill. Cahill is recognized as the first person to have tried to stop Hasan and the only civilian to have been killed by Hasan that day. “He will forever be a source of inspiration.”

Alas, I have my doubts about the deputy commanding general of Ft. Hood. Despite overwhelming evidence that Hasan committed an act of jihad, DiSalvo — like the Army, like the U.S. government — looks the other way. “We may never know why” the Hasan attack happened, DiSalvo said without, apparently, turning red or rolling his eyes.

It’s hard to overstate the impact of these words. In honoring the very last thing Cahill did on this Earth, the general pointedly chose to omit its significance. Like a potent spell, his words made all the context of the 62-year-old Cahill’s valorous act — charging Hasan with a chair as Hasan fired on the crowd — disappear. Of course, the general’s omission takes nothing away from Cahill’s courage. It does, however, wrongly release the rest of us from our debt to Cahill. In treating Hasan’s rampage as no more purposeful than a flood or a cougar attack, the general has also reduced Cahill’s ultimate sacrifice to its most personal level; exemplary, admirable, but of no consequence beyond the scene, outside the circle. This is morally wrong. It was the general’s duty to place Cahill’s death in perspective, to impress upon both his loved ones and his fellow citizens that he died not only to stop a bloodletting but also in defense of liberty, then and now under jihadist attack.

In other words, the general flinched. No surprise there. Ft. Hood may have been a war zone that day but, with few exceptions (Texas Republicans Rep. John Carter and Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchinson and John Cornyn are pressing to see Purple Hearts awarded), neither our military nor our government has the courage to admit it.
