Something's fishy here...

My heart goes out to all those injured at Fort Hood, and to all those who lost friends and loved-ones.

Now having said that....something about the entire situation smells fishy.

The first thing I would like to point out is that when a military person makes the news, the pictures they usually display are profession pictures of them in their military uniform. And yet...somehow, we've got pictures of this guy in nothing but Middle-Eastern garb.

Secondly...the man was promoted recently to major. However, what we keep hearing is that he was troublesome with patients, was under constant scrutiny, made anti-American and pro-Muslim comments on his webpages, kept trying to leave the military, was having mental problems, was being watched by the FBI...

Okay, fine. Maybe he was under emotional distress. But I knew someone who was a clerk in the military. He had no problems...until he believed a fellow base personal hit on him (he claimed the individual pinched his behind), and he beat the crap out of the guy.

He wasn't promoted. In fact, they forcefully discharged him, and said he could keep his discharge honorable if he followed their "mental health" discharge plan. Three psychologists and one psychiatrist on a weekly basis, which went on for years. He wasn't being watched by the FBI for six months. He wasn't asking time and time again to leave the military....he had been planning on a military career, and loved it. He wasn't unhappy, and spouting anti-military stuff all over the internet for years. He was just an individual, paranoid that all gay men were after his ugly butt, that thought another man had pinched his ass.

In fact, from what my ex-military friends say, one bad word said about the military, the government, or any of their projects is enough to get a military person court martialed.

And yet this "Muslim extremist terrorist and psychologically broken individual" who had "begged to be let out of his military contract" and "watched by the FBI for six months" and could only work "under extreme supervision" had gotten a promotion rather than a mental-medical discharge.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but something doesn't sound right to me.



Update: Oh NOW they are printing pictures of him in uniform....and its not even his dress uniform (which is what we usually see pictures of). Maybe someone, listening to Alex Jones make the same comment yesterday, decided they had to.
