Igster's Inklings

(edited for content and typos)

What a  powerful 3 letter word. It conveys so much in such a compact package. I was listening to

and thinking about the horrible atrocities perpetrated on US soldiers on US soil yesterday.  First of all, I pray for healing for all those involved, military or otherwise.  As a former(never ex) sailor, I feel a special connection to any service member.  All that they went through in some desert somewhere,  and then to have to come home to this is,well, unfathomable.  To have anyone do this deed, let alone one of your own is…     I can’t even think of a word that encompasses all I feel – the rage, the horror, the loss, the pure unbelief…
There will be speculation and hearsay for many months to come.  Why he did it, why he was able to shoot so many before something was done, among other things.  I am hearing reports that “dear fearless leader”  is stating that the officer that stopped this killer (screw the word “alleged”).  He had the gun people were shot, he did it. No alleged to it. FUCKING GUILTY.  Let’s move on from that point)  WTF???   He talks about not jumping to conclusions. quoted here” “We don’t know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.”  So said President Barack Obama in the Rose Garden today in reference to Nidal Malik Hasan’s savage massacre of American soldiers at Fort Hood.” as reported on the American Thinker, full article here.

She did her job, as she was trained to do. What should she have done?  Tried talking to the deranged gunman?  ”Please won’t you stop?”  BULLSHIT.  Deadly force was more than called for. Thank you and speedy Recovery to Officer Kimberly Munley. More can be read about her here and here.
I made an offhand comment on twitter yesterday, asking how long until he ignored the tragedy at Fort Hood.  I got two obviously well thought out replies almost immediately.  One was “he was just informed. quit starting drama where there is none!”  Drama?  Umm nothing was more traumatic than what was visited upon Our OWN people here at home.  My point was borne out by his not stopping what he was doing the second he was informed.  As commander in chief, nothing is more important than say, the TROOPS you are supposed to be commanding.  Then he did some sorry speech.
The second cogent, lucid response was something about “How long until I stop being a moron” or something equally brilliant.   Again, I have tried giving O the benefit of several hundred doubts.  He never fails to disappoint.  It’s not a left vs right, liberal vs conservative, or a black white thing.  I don’t respect him solely based on his performance.  Sorry getting off point here.  I am saddened and angered that this could happen.  Do I think Muslims should be removed from our military?  I honestly don’t know.  I’m sure there are those that feel like the gunman yesterday, and there may be an equal number that would lay down their lives to defend this country.  If the allegations are true, and he did make threats and comments in support of treasonous acts, the people that did the half assed investigation should also be held criminally liable as well.  I do not hate someone because they are Muslim.  Some of my friends are.  So, don’t go there. He obviously had issues related to many things.  Should he have been mistreated because of his faith?  Of course not.  At the same time, if he had an issue with deployment, did he miss that on the form he signed to join the Army?  You serve at their whim and not your own.  Did he think, they would pay for schooling and not expect him to, you know serve his damn time?  He should be found guilty, shot, hanged, given a lethal injection and then be drawn and quartered.  No prison time, no boohoo they were mean to me bullshit counselling.  He deserves nothing less than death.  Plain and simple.  He did it to the soldiers, he should get the same treatment.  No mercy.  Maybe God, or in this case Allah will have mercy on him.
