Reich wing asshole Ret. Col. Allen West writes article disparaging Muslims
it looks like he's getting his rethuglican base in order for a Congressional run. His website forCongress is here.http://allenwestforcongress.com/featured/tragedy-at-fort-hood/
And the article full of hate and lies is posted on a site called REDCOUNTY so I can only post a small snippet but the link to it here.http://www.redcounty.com/%E2%80%9Ctragedy-ft-hood%E2%80%9D?taxonomy=1745


This past Thursday 13 American Soldiers were killed and another 30 wounded at a horrific mass shooting at US Army installation, Ft Hood Texas. As I watched in horror and then anger I recalled my two years of final service in the Army as a Battalion Commander at Ft Hood, 2002-2004.

My wife and two daughters were stunned at the incident having lived on the post in family housing.

A military installation, whether it is Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard, is supposed to be a safe sanctuary for our Warriors and their families. It is intended to provide a home whereby our “Band of Brothers and Sisters” can find solace and bond beyond just the foxhole but as family units.

A military installation is supposed to be a place where our Warriors train for war, to serve and protect our Nation.

:wtf:

A military installation "is supposed to be a safe sanctuary"...? Aren't there military installations, you know, in the middle of wars and stuff like that?

Somehow, this reminds me of the Monty Python sketch about the recruit who wants to leave the Army because "there's tanks and bombs out there...somebody could get hurt!"
