This is a National Security Issue

Questions which must be asked:

* Do we recognize a national security issue when we see it?

* Is military training inadequate and lacking strategic depth to purposefully train our ranks to reject indoctrination? I believe it is lacking.

* How many days does it take for an American soldier who converts to Islam to move toward acts of terror when managed by the right set of hands? The mind can flip more easily when one has been within a chain of command structure and encountering what appears a more powerful chain of command structure.

* Can hard hitting teaching be offered without apology when it comes to guarding our ranks against ideological encroachment which seeks the destruction of the Republic and the death of our citizens?

I love my nation enough to speak the truth. The truth is that when our ranks are compromised our national security is compromised. The mind is the easiest thing to turn. The oath is not sufficient for some. Luckily for me, the oath is sufficient as is my gravitation toward fidelity.
