The Homegrown Jihad on the US Military

Most of us in the blogosphere are familiar with the story of the three Navy SEALs being court-martialed on the word of terrorist Ahmid Hashim Abed. Although the story has been picked up by a few main stream media outlets, the case has not gotten the attention it merits. After all, during the Abu Ghraib fiasco, the public was subjected to the ravings of Keith Olbermann nightly. One would think that the prosecution of the men responsible for capturing Abed, the man that orchestrated the murder of four civilian contractors whose bodies were subsequently mutilated, dragged through the streets, burned and hung from a bridge in Fallujah, would warrant as much attention as pictures of a terrorist on a dog leash. Not so. Freelance writers and, to a lesser extent Fox News, are responsible for spreading the word to patriotic Americans.

For those unfamiliar with the story, here is a quick recap.

The Oath of a Military Wife

Above my desk at work is a plaque with the words: 

“I am fortunate to live, walk and breathe among the bravest of heroes.  I am a proud military wife.”

Military wives are a rare and special breed. We are fiercely protective of our husbands, our children and our country and, make no mistake, we will fight to the death to protect all three.

Lately, however, the threat we face is from our own commanders. From McChrystal's disastrous and idiotic strategy in Afghanistan to the dereliction of duty by Major Nidal Hasan's superiors, our men and women are being sacrificed to the gods of political correctness - their hands metaphorically tied behind their backs. Soldiers are getting more training in multiculturalism than in the difference between lawful and unlawful orders. They are subjected to "Sensitivity Training" so they will not make the mistake of offending anyone. (You know, like some jihadist headshrinker with pre-PTSD...)
