An Officer’s Outrage Over Fort Hood, by Major Shawn Keller
Major Shawn Keller: “But just like September 11, those agencies and individuals charged with keeping America and American’s safe failed to connect the dots that would have saved lives. Jihadist rhetoric espoused by Hasan was categorically dismissed out of submissiveness to the concepts of tolerance and diversity. The Army as an institution has been neutered by decades of political correctness and the leaders in Hasan’s chain-of-command failed to act accordingly out of fear of being labeled anti-Muslim and receiving a negative evaluation report. The counter-terrorism agencies knew Hasan was communicating with Al-Qaeda and dismissed it as academic research instead of delving deeper into the probability that a terrorist had infiltrated the ranks.”
[Read the absolutely deplorable behavior of those charged with Americans’ safety, both before the terrorist massacre, and the incredible whitewash afterward. No wonder Major Shawn Keller is angry.]
