I wonder if everyone can see the knife sticking out of my back.

So discouraging, appalling, and incomprehensible. My hope is that over time people will wake up and realize how bad this is. For now, many of the people I know don’t think it’s a big deal (!). Keep writing and keep fighting, Pamela. We need you!

I totally agree Pamela…This was shocking and disturbing news. Wouldn’t it be great if all that money could be used to feed the hungry, or help struggling families in our country?

this is not inhuman, if anything, it is not enoght. these criminals should punish for what they have done, and this is letting them off too easy.

I think at the end of the day Clinton was a great president for US, even with all his shortcomings in place. And that’s not just my opnion, look what famous peers said about Bill Clinton:

Comment on When Michelle Malkin is Right, She’s Right by Pamela Lyn

Independent,

While it is true that Maj Hassan joined the service in 1997 (pre Bush), it has also been reported and verified that he openly expressed strong opposition to the war on numerous occasions. In fact, Maj Hasan may have asked to be discharged. So while recruitment wasn’t an issue in the case of Maj. Hasan, the stop loss policy (the need to maintain numbers) may have been.

The New York Times reported the following:

“He (Maj. Hassan) was commissioned in 1997 and went to medical school at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., a selective and tuition-free program.

After graduating in 2003, he did his internship and residency in psychiatry at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and then completed a two-year fellowship in preventive and disaster psychiatry, earning a master’s degree in public health.

During his time at Walter Reed and the Uniformed Services University, Major Hasan became increasingly vocal in his opposition to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over the past five years, he also began openly opposing the wars on religious grounds.

He tried to get out of the Army, relatives said, and apparently believed it to be impossible, though experts say he was probably given inadequate advice.”

As was Major Hasan given inadequate advice about the military’s stop-loss policy. As a MD, was Major Hasan exempt from that policy. Did he believe that like millions of others enlisted persons that he had not choice but to stay in the service. Thankfully, it was announced this past March that the stop-loss policy will end by 2011. But I’m sure that the impact of the extensive use of this policy will be felt for a very long time.

Do not get me wrong, I am in NO way excusing Maj Hasan’s heionus acts. But like any good opposing attorney, I have presented an alternate theory of the crime. In my humble opinion, it is ridiculous to blame the military’s diversity policy as Ms Malkin would like us to do.

Quite simply there needs to be a thorough investigation in order to determine why so many questionable persons were recruited, or as in this case, retained in military service.

I believe that the need to build/maintain the ranks, especially in light of the competition from private security contractors like Blackwater aka XE, will be found to be a factor.

you are off mark on the blame Bush tactic. Bush was wrong in about as many ways as Obama is wrong but to insinuate that this whack nut got thru b/c of fill the ranks issues is way off target. this guy was MD. he needed the Army NOT the other way around. troop numbers had zero to do with this. this was a Fail on many levels but low troop ranks was not one of those levels.
