Keep the Moslem soldiers separate

Joe Bowyer (Pharos-Tribune, Nov. 14) was right on when he wrote this political correctness with the killings of our troops by Moslems and must stop. This is the second time U.S. soldiers were killed by a Moslem. Franklin D. Roosevelt made the right decision when he put all the U.S. soldiers in World War II who were of Japanese descent into a separate and exclusive group so as not to allow a rogue sympathizer to the enemy kill our soldiers. It worked as it never happened, according to World War II veterans that I ask.

The first time a Moslem threw a grenade into a tent killing U.S. soldiers. Once was enough; twice is once too many.

Our soldiers don’t need to be worrying if his Moslem buddies are going to shoot him in the back when he gets in combat. It wasn’t a Vietnamese, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Indian, etc. in either shooting incident. It was a Moslem both times.

Mistakes will be made, but we don’t have to keep making the same mistake over and over again. Solve the problem now. We had sufficient information on this last sympathizer and did nothing.

How many more have infiltrated the ranks of our armed services?

Remember, this enemy has said they will lie to our faces and tell us they want to be “friends” just so they can get our defenses down so they can kill us. By their own admission, to believe them would be foolish and we do by allowing them to mix with our non-Moslem soldiers.

If I was the enemy this would be the best way to defeat us in this war is to become part of us and each one of them kill a dozen or more of our soldiers with each one of them. Our political correctness is going to get a bunch more killed if something is not done now.

Indiana was among 10 states granted a waiver last week from requirements of the No Child Left Behind law. Do you believe that was a good move?
