The US Military has the duty to uphold and defend the Constitution.  There is a Constitutional right to freedom of religion.  There can be no restrictions on religious beliefs in the military.  We were taught that our beliefs cannot be dictated by the military, but our actions can. 

Clearly, the shooter in Fort Hood is disturbed and arguably criminally insane.

Back to the OP, serious or not, one of the first statements by one general or another was that he was worried about backlash.  Backlash would be just as bad as the original crime, maybe worse.  Justice will happen.  Give it time.

P.S. The military is so sensitive to religious freedom that it allowed for the Church of Satan to be put on dog tags.  I always wondered what prayer a chaplain would say over the body of such a soldier.

We can't jump to conclusions....just because he reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before he began shooting; visited websites associated with Islamist violence; wrote Internet postings justifying Muslim suicide bombings; considered U.S. forces the enemy; opposed American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan as wars on Islam; advocated beheading nonbelievers; (In a D.C, conference in front of heap many doctors...who apparently were afraid to 'get involved') and told a neighbor shortly before the shootings that he was going "to do good work for God."  (As well as giving out Korans) Lastly... we learn he was trying to contact people associated with al Qaeda. It's still a mystery.  :bolt:
