They don't do it, and it isn't a part of their life.<br /><br />But what happens when their imam makes them choose: Islam or America. What happens when jihad comes to the neighood mosque? If their back is really against the wall, what will they choose? I believe most of the time, they will choose Islam.Maggie Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681328690482778919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-7773562224045995392009-11-09T16:31:43.963-08:002009-11-09T16:31:43.963-08:00@ Montana: First, I believe PTSD is real.

After all, he called our soldiers murderers of Muslims.<br /><br />Trying to pay back loans, or paying back loans and hiring an attorney is not an excuse for murder. We have no idea where the military was in his request to leave. Usually when you want out and you have served, you are allowed out. We do not know that he was denied this. Perhaps the paperwork was underway.<br /><br />There are no excuses for this. The man obviously knew exactly what he was doing. He does not have a history of mental illness, although after he finished with the soldiers he was counseling, they are likely having a far more difficult time than before he entered their lives.<br /><br />He used the Army to get everything he wanted except a wife. He has lived in freedom all his life. He could not survive in a Muslim country for a month.<br /><br />Terry Nichols got life because he flipped on McVeigh. McVeigh killed because of his ideology - as did Hasan. Neither were mentally ill.Maggie Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681328690482778919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-92092104320319510172009-11-09T12:08:12.115-08:002009-11-09T12:08:12.115-08:00My heart and prayers go out to all the victims, th...My heart and prayers go out to all the victims, the victims family and friends.<br /><br />From all the news reports it appears this Major is a career military man and that in his current position for less than a year and was not going well. He did not want to be deployed and in fact wanted out of the Army, so he paid back his military student loans and hired an attorney. <br /><br />The reason may have been that he was being harassed and called names like “camel jockey ”. I guess all that sensitivity training for those with bigotry tendencies are all for not. (Can training real change the way you were brought up?) <br /><br />Another reason is called PTSD by proxy, the stress of treating PTSD in other soldiers make you go a little crazy yourself. Its even more stressful because most of the higher ranks don’t even believe in such thing as PTSD. Their denial prompts them to tell suffering soldiers to “drink it off.” Some civilians in the defense dept feel the same way no doubt IMO, it’s why hardly anything is mentioned of PTSD until one of these violent episodes occurs. These people see PTSD as a cop-out or an excuse. First we need to have an understanding that PTSD actually is real before we can ever hope to help treat it (does anyone believe that being shot at or killing your fellow man is not going to affect you in some way either then or in the future?). I guess with the high soldier suicide rate before and after deployment kinda takes care of the complaints from coming in (so those who said he should have just killed himself, well that’s already happening ). What real ticked me off when I heard that the military was trying to say that some soldiers coming back from this war with PTSD or other psychological disorders had “Pre-Existing Conditions” and that the military would not pay to treat them, I think it has been corrected but what a bunch of asses they break you and don’t want to pay.<br /><br />The final issue is why does the military want to keep people in their ranks that no longer want to be there is it just sheer number? I mean is it ten percent, twenty percent. Is it that it is the only contract in the US that you can’t get out of unless to kill yourself or kill your fellow soldiers? It does not make any sense to me. <br /><br />I guess the Major could just be another wacko like Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nicholas, of course McVeigh was executed and apparently because Nicholas became a Christian he received a life sentenced. I real think if he gets that far the Major will get the former and not in a million years the latter.<br /><br />This is so messed up, hopefully they will make some changes that make sense.Montananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-52166630175739951132009-11-07T19:02:30.942-08:002009-11-07T19:02:30.942-08:00Frankly,after reading the Koran, there is no such ...Frankly,after reading the Koran, there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim...that is mere wishful thinking on our parts.A "moderate" Muslim would be considered an apostate....and would be killed.<br /> How we ever let this intolerant cult [it's not a religion] into this country is beyond me.<br /> It is no more compatible with America and her culture than is socialism and communism...all of which should be outlawed here....it's not like there aren't any countries where this monstrous cult can be practiced after all...<br />They hate America and Americans, the real question is why are they here then?<br /> The answer is an uncomfortable one...they are here to destroy us all.christmasghosthttp://www.christmasghost.comnoreply@blogger.com
