Former governor and presidential candidate -- and current Fox News talking head -- Mike Huckabee posits how being 'PC' let slip a radical fanatic who killed thirteen people: Let the universities provide the ideological playground for academics to put forth the high-minded plans of people management to give us all a "feel-good" for being so tolerant, but our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines deserve to be surrounded by the best of their peers, not misfits who are protected because of their religion, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity or their cereal preference for that matter.
I get it Huck; you think that the 'liberal-effete-eating-elitists' are behind the attack at Fort Hood. But I have one question...
There is room in the military for people from all kinds of backgrounds and diversity, but the common denominator ought to be devotion to country, honor and duty. Too much is at stake to cover for someone to keep from offending the political sensitivities of anyone.
The military sacrifices enough for us. We shouldn't ask them to sacrifice common sense so as not to offend anyone. The military is trained to not merely offend an enemy, but destroy it.
Civility? Sure; but trifling niceties at the expense of their best interest? Never.
I'd rather kill political correctness than good American servicemen and women doing their jobs while at their post.
You say that "there is room in the military for people from all kinds of backgrounds and diversity, but the common denominator ought to be devotion to country, honor and duty. Too much is at stake to cover for someone to keep from offending the political sensitivities of anyone." -- but did it ever occur to you that perhaps Nidal Hasan acted as if he were devoted to country, honor and duty? Did it ever occur to you that terrorists (if that is indeed what this guy was) might, I don't know, lie to get to places that they might do the most damage? Just a thought.
