an active duty officer, no less.
The Army officer who once taught that the U.S. ought to consider “Hiroshima tactics” for a “total war” on Islam has put America’s top general on notice for a possible lawsuit. Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley is accusing the government of concealing “the truth about Islam” at a time when proponents of his view of an inevitable clash between Islam and the West have succeeded at fanning precisely those flames.
I had this up on Facebook, I thought I would toss it up out here.
Read the article, don't just riff off the paragraph I tossed up here.
For that matter,
read the Thomas More Law Center's take on the topic (they're representing LTC Dooley), because Spencer Ackerman (the Danger Room writer) certainly wears his opinion on his sleeve.
The Thomas More Law Center announced today that it is representing U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Dooley, a 1994 Graduate of the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. In April 2012, LTC Dooley, a highly decorated combat veteran, was publically condemned by General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and relieved of his teaching assignment because of the negative way Islam was portrayed in an elective course entitled, Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism.
So, Auld Pharts (and the few younglings who drop by to see what the asylum dwellers are up to) - whatcha think?
Strong opinions over on FB.
Unrelated note: When did a Bronze Star (without V) and apparently no CAB, become "highly decorated combat veteran?" Not dissing LTC Dooley's service, but his ribbon bars look to me like "showed up for work, did his job well enough to get the usual bits of ribbon, and didn't spend much time actually looking at the elephant." Mind you, that's true for *most* of us, and in no way reflects upon his service. But I just don't see "highly decorated combat veteran" there.
