Will Political Correctness Kill Us?

It has been a week since Nidal Hasan slaughtered 13 servicemen. Stories are now coming out that he showed a disdain toward our country. Some of his colleagues have said he often went on anti-American rants. We have learned that he was in contact with radical extremists who were involved in the 9/11 massacre. All the signs were there but nobody took action until it was too late. Yesterday Sen. McCain spoke of how we could not allow political correctness to stop us from taking action when we should. McCain actually called it an act of terrorism. McCain said “the fact is that it was an act of terror when you’re on a military base, and you are a trusted member of the military, a commissioned officer, and you kill your fellow members in the military — motivated obviously by his views of the extremist interpretation of an honorable religion.” We do not have the facts to support that this was an act of terrorism. There are plenty of questions that need to be answered and hopefully they will be answered. Hasan demonstrated enough strange behavior to have been watched and watched carefully. There were warning signs that were ignored. Hasan is not the poster child for all Muslim soldiers, and we should not paint all Muslim soldiers with a broad brush, but this soldier should have been monitored and he was not and political correctness might have been a factor, and 13 people lost their lives and in this case political correctness might have been the culprit.
