Fort Hood Teaches Nothing

The Pentagon Report on the Fort Hood shootings does not mention Islam. It refers to the Muslim murderer as "the alleged perpetrator," not mentioning his Muslim-sounding name.

The two investigators, Togo West and Vernon Clark, are Clinton appointees who have been involved in developing military policies that stress diversity, affirmative action, and oh yes... Political Correctness. These investigators were chosen for a reason.

As I said, the 86 page report does not mention Islam once. It does not question how an obviously troubled officer like Hassan made it through personnel reviews and was actually promoted. But West and Clark can't be expected to find fault with the policies they are personally responsible for.

The report suggested that the military needs to improve its ability to respond in such situations.

How true!

The political correctness that contributed to the Fort Hood Massacre survived the Pentagon Report and is alive and well. We'd better be ready to respond!
