Multiculturalism is not valid in excusing treason... If the Major
expressed the statements as claimed, why was he consoling troops???
In the end, Radical Islamists are not simply "misunderstood"...

I will argue that political correctness led to the madness of having
someone who does not believe in the legitimacy of the war in Iraq
practice psychiatry by counseling some of the most severely
traumatized in the Iraqi war: that the instant he began to show doubts
about the legitimacy of the War and an unwillingness to be deployed to
participate in it, he ought at the very least to have been stripped of
his commission and suffer whatever other consequences of failing to
fulfill his part of the contract under which the United States paid
for both his undergraduate and his medical education in return for his
service as a medical officer.
Richard Weaver wrote an important book called Ideas Have Consequences.
It's one book that everyone ought to read as an undergraduate, but the
title makes an important point. Political correctness was the cause of
the Fort Hood Massacre, and we ought not forget that. The fact that
someone could go through -- at government expense -- an undergraduate
education with ROTC, then medical school at a US military institution,
and remain a traitor to the United States is a significant warning. A
very significant warning that the idea of Political Correctness has
consequences we can't afford. Corruption of the Legions is one danger
the Republic cannot endure.
