Pentagon Deep-Sixes Lt. Col. Dooley for Violating Muslim PC

J. Robert Smith

 

Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley isn't the one who has to hang his head low. That honor goes to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey. Dooley is in the doghouse with the political, knocked-kneed Dempsey over his approved teachings about militant Islam. That's right, approved teachings.

 

As a result, Dooley, considered a gifted officer with a bright future, has been handed a one-way ticket out of the Army unless an appeal he's filing succeeds. But just like it's hard to beat city hall, it's tough to beat the Pentagon. Dooley's last recourse is federal court.

 

ReportsThe Washington Times:

News of Col. Dooley's setback has emerged as some researchers of radical Islam are criticizing the Obama administration for downplaying the Islamic connection in a string of attempted and successful terrorist attacks, including the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15.

Dooley's woes began when he was serving as a war college instructor.

 

Again, from the Times:

Col. Dooley's downfall began in October 2011 with a letter sent by 57 American Islamic organizations to John O. Brennan, then President Obama's counterterrorism adviser and now CIA director.

It would be an especially hard time to serve in the military these days.

 

Wouldn't have to go far from home to be confronted by the enemy.
