FreeRepublic.com Friday, November 06, 2009 by Marie Today, this army wife is mad as hell. This afternoon I saw an interview on FOX with the Army Chief of Staff, General Casey. During the Q&A period, every question and answer centered around Combat Stress and suicides among our military. Not ONE person addressed the FACT that this was an individual practicing his view of Islamic Jihad. After the press conference, the cameras went back to Shep Smith at the FOX studios. The first thing he said was, “The question on everyone’s mind is, ‘Why did he do this?’” Why? WHY, you ask?? Let me tell you cowards in the media WHY. Hassan was a Muslim Fundamentalist Extremist. He did it to strike fear and grief in the hearts of Americans. He did it to hurt our military and to further the cause of Islam. He didn’t do it because he had PTSD, compassion fatigue or combat stress. He is not your average everyday PVT Joe Snuffy. He is a TERRORIST. He is a terrorist sympathizer. (As indicated by his internet postings.) He is a Muslim Extremist. And you damn well know it. Today I am ashamed of our media. I am ashamed of our POTUS. I am ashamed of our leadership. Those of you who lack the ability to accept and report the truth of this situation are nothing more than cowards who are terrified of giving offense. You do a disservice to the brave men and women who have been killed and injured in your defense. Stop insulting the solders by implying that they’re all capable of this due to the stress of war. Stop insulting our military by implying that they don’t take care of our troops. Grow a pair and call it what it is - TERRORISM. |
