When Mr Gates said, 'you don't know who you are dealing with", he revealed to the world his inferiority complex. A confident man doesn't have to tell another man how important he is. If he is a man, his actions would say it all. Mr Gates needs to man up and admit he was the problem, not the police officer. His actions were despicable and he knows it. Instead of doing the right thing, he decided to hide behind his race. This country has too many males blaiming their irresponsibility on every thing but themselves. Man Up Mr. Gates

General George Casey needs to be relieved immediately from his Army Chief of Staff duties and ordered to retire. His PC comments on the Sunday talk shows demonstrated he is incapable of leading the United States Army. He is responsible for the PC climate in the Army that deterred other officers from reporting Major Hasan's actions and statements that violated numerous UCMJ articles. I served 27 years as an Air Force officer and never encountered such BS. All the men and women I served with were American soldiers. I never heard the term Muslim soldier or Catholic soldier or Jewish soldier or Baptish soldier.
Any backlash will be against Casey and other PC officers of his ilk. Soldiers judge each other by their abilities not...

When a nation is at war, the purpose of the Military is to kill the enemy and to continue to kill the enemy until the enemy surrenders. I spent a year in the Nam winning the hearts and minds of the South Vietnamese. It didn't work in Viet Nam and it isn't working in Afghanistan.

I don't believe we have the stomach for the fight we need to wage. It is criminal to send our troops into harms way with such ridiculous ROEs. It is time to leave Afghanistan and let the Taliban ravage the country. Maybe then the other countries in the Middle East will get scared enough to challenge the radicals.

Thanks Paul. I always look forward to your thoughts and observations.

I have been reading Mr.Sowell's articles and books for years and have never been disappointed. I can say that about very few other writers. Thank you Mr. Sowell. Keep the pressure on those who refuse to acknowledge the facts over their adolescent wishful thinking.
