People do not realize that some doctors, lawyers and chaplains are just given the rank of lieutenant when they enter the military. They do not go through the rigors of basic training like we peons do.
Therefore, they miss all the sessions on leadership, what it means to be an American, an American soldier, the value of freedom and how it is won and perpetuated with dedication, leadership, sacrifice, and the death of American soldiers. They miss the indoctrination of just what our American flag means. They miss out on what brave military people stand for and represent.
The news people keep asking why he killed. We need to stop pussy-footing around and call it what it really is. The reason he killed is because he is a Muslim. Theirs comes from the Koran. It is very different from what our soldiers receive. Muslims are taught to kill infidels at every opportunity. (You, I, and all Christians are infidels). They are instructed that it is honorable to kill as many of us as they can, any time and anywhere they can. They are "commanded" to do this by the Koran. This man was yelling "Allah Akbar"-(God is Great). He was not talking about Jesus Christ. Allah's prophet was Mohammad.
He was an interesting person. He had nine wives, marrying one of them when she was 6 years old. It must be noted that he did not consummate that marriage until she was 9 years old.
According to the Koran, a Muslim can have up to four wives if he can support them. He is allowed to beat them any time he desires, for almost any reason. The wife is totally subservient to the husband in all matters.
Muslim wives can leave the house only when accompanied by a male adult. In their culture, women are second-class people when compared to men. They get only half the inheritance of a man. In court, it takes the testimony of two women to equal that of one man-that is if their testimony is considered at all.
Another situation Muslim women endure is honor killings. If they do such things as date a non-Muslim man, or talk to one, or to get too "Westernized", or one of the many other infractions, they can be killed by their father or brother. That killing is "excused" by the entire community, and the murderers are almost never punished. Honor killings are common in Muslim countries, and it is happening more and more in this country.
There are many other inequities. To find out, call 800-752-6562 and order the pamphlet "What Americans need to know about Jihad", by Robert Spenser.
Of course not all Muslims are radical. The problem we have is the non-radical Muslims never criticize the radicals; we are unable to tell the difference.
So why kill 12 and injure 30? Simple. He was commanded to do so by the Koran.
