After reading the headlines about the US soldier who shot up Afghanistan civilians, I couldn’t help noticing an irony. There is all this clamor to try SGT Bales quickly and execute him, never mind his having suffered a traumatic brain injury. Yet this Major Hasan, who shot up Fort Hood while screaming Allah akbar, still hasn’t stood trial, and they are still debating whether he was insane, even with the clear evidence regarding his motive: slay as many infidels as possible. So we have a guy in a war zone who cracks, and he must be executed immediately. But this Muslim psychiatrist who was stateside in a nice safe office all day murders 13, wounds 29 of our own guys, and they try to argue the poor lad suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome, from listening to real soldiers who had actual battle experience. Two and a half years later, they still haven’t tried the murderous man.

That's how bass ackwards this society is becoming.

Seems all the retoric about equality only applies if you are not a majority.

Excellent point Sir.

If i may add my humble .02 cents to this thread. I had a grandfather who served in the u.s. army in world war 2 and he suffered terriblely with what today is called ptsd and he did Not do what sgt bales did.
