Main stream media has started the massive spin of Nidal Hasan’s murderously criminal rampage at Fort Hood last Thursday. Being ex-military I don't call Nidal a Major in the U.S. Army. Let me explain.....
I joined the U.S. Army in 1974. Nixon was promising to bring all the troops home from Vietnam. I felt like the possibility of another war soon was pretty slim. Granted, I wanted to serve my country but, my main goal was to travel, meet girls, get all the bennies........I didn't want to trade bullets with someone. If I would have wanted to do that, I would have stayed home. Actually, the reason I joined the military was in response to a dare from some friends. I wasn't thinking rationally at the time because I had been on a long binge of drinking, getting high and partying which lasted all the way up to about my second year in the military. I was half-way thru my permanemt duty station when I met my wife and was married. Marriage is a time when hearts are tender and I renewed some vows that I had made to God as well.
After my first born I began to sense God pulling at the reins of my heart again and turning me towards him. It's God's Love that draws men's hearts. Anyway.....I was confronted with a real dilema, raise a family or stay in the military. If I stay in the military, I may be called upon to kill people. Duh!
Maybe it's a different military now but, when I was in the service, ranking officials had no problem telling you that the main reason you where a part of God's Fine Army was to kill the enemies of the United States of America. And if we (The Army), wanted you to have a family, we would have issued you one when you enlisted. If you thought you were there for any other reason, you should have joined the Peace Corps. So, I did what a rational person would do. I completed my time, thanked Uncle Sam for the opportunity and the bennies, and went my way. God Bless Our Military!
I thank God for all the different individuals that he has allowed to cross my path during my lifetime. I've been fortunate to have been exposed to so many views and personality types. I remember during a basic law class the concept of rational thinking. This concept is the glue that holds most laws together. All our actions are judged based upon comparison with what a rational thinking individual would do in the same circumstance or situation. If Nidal Hasan didn't agree with the war effort, he should have simply left the military instead of going on a murderous criminal rampage at Fort Hood last Thursday. This cowardly disregard and dis-respect for human life is not rational and should be swiftly dealt with.
So now that we identify this type of behavior as irrational, what steps can be taken to irradicate it from the Our Great Country: One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice For All?
We need to develop psychological examinations profiling radical religious combatants and test the entire military force. What if some hair brain idiot is in a higher rank than "Major", with access to an even more destructive arsenal? Think how much carnage could be reaped.
Next we need to fortify U.S. Ports and Military Bases. This is a given! Our soldiers are our greatest assets contrary to what some General I recently heard speak, "Our diversity is our strongest strength".
Don't believe the lie! Diversity and homogenization has pushed our great country off track and toward the oncoming ochlocratic system we see rising from the earth. We as a nation need to humble ourselves, pray, seek God, turn from our wicked ways and God will heal our land.
