A very Sad circumstance but one that was inevitable. We have our own Extremist here at home and now we are importing Muslim Extremist. This guy may not be a Sleeper but he sure sounds like one. A very Sad day for sure. I am hoping that this does not start an uprising against the Muslim Community. 11th This was bound to happen in the States.

My prayers go out to the service members and family involved. I was on the field at Towle Stadium at Bragg in '95. My wife was across base doing PT with her unit. Needless to say, we didn't speak much yesterday, just sorta were numb...as things we hadn't thought about in a long while came back. And in the end, I went to bed hoping that the strength we found to deal with a very similar incident made it's way to those Soldiers and their families yesterday at Hood. Sad day for every one. And yes, you are right JB, it will be bad for everyone. These things are like ripples in a pond, they affect a unit and a community in ways that aren't clear for some time. cl I hope you are not right 11th.

Unfortunately we (military) still work in a very politically correct environment where discipling someone with certain traits is difficult.

I would appreciate that if he were concerned about American lives in danger, but I believe in my heart, that this is purely political. Heaven forbid he pisses off his 20% base and do the correct thing. He will exhaust every option but send more troops.

Since you guys are mil bloggers, I took some acronym liberties. Please feel free to ask clarifying questions regarding any acronyms: AUP= Afghan Uniformed Police OMLT= Operational Mentor and Liaison Team (non US ISAF) POMLT = Police Operational Mentor and Liaison Team (non US ISAF) ANCOP = Afghan National Civil Order Police (elite QRF MoI battalions; there are 4 brigades of them; each has 5 combat battalions; I have never heard anything other than good things about them) "I believe for OUR security in the U.S. and other non muslim countries around the world, we need to have a counter-extremist muslim strategy and a large enough presence to carry that out." I would emphasize the the extremists kill far more muslims than nonmuslims. Most muslims hate them and will share their true feelings about the extremists if you ask them. There needs to be an international muslim and nonmuslim alliance against the extremists. Chuck and JB, I could e-mail you some strategy ideas for Afghanistan I have offline if you want.

I'll take it a little further and say; regardless of how many ANA enlisted, nco's or officers are trained, we still have a huge stake in the security and stability of the country. If not another soldier is trained, I believe for OUR security in the U.S. and other non muslim countries around the world, we need to have a counter-extremist muslim strategy and a large enough presence to carry that out. I think we waltz around this issue too much. We all know what their goal is and heaven forbid we get too politically incorrect and call it like we all know it is. There's a reason you can't get even peace loving, moderate muslims in this country to speak out against what the extremists are doing. They are scared of the repercussions. Ditto on your last, Jb.
