Our Military: overpaid, politically correct and destroying evidence to stay so

The Nidal Hasan case is an example of how the military elite has been corrupted by the prevailing anti-anti Islamism ideology of the other elites.  To the point of destroying evidence and denying the obvious:  NRO has the story:  Read the whole thing.

From the Associated Press report on yesterday’s hearing [thanks to Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch] comes this mind-blowing detail, buried at the bottom of the story:

Earlier Friday under cross examination, Pfc. Lance Aviles said he used his cell phone to record the rampage inside the processing center but was ordered by an officer to delete both videos later the same day. Aviles was not asked if he knew why the officer ordered the videos destroyed. It’s unclear exactly what the footage showed, although it could have been used as evidence in the case….

Based on the Defense Department’s shameful conduct in this case, we have no choice but to believe (unless proven otherwise) that the military did not want to preserve a recording of a jihadist terrorist screamingAllahu Akbar! as he carried out a massacre unmistakably inspired by Islamist ideology. Remember, this is the same Defense Department that, in its purportedly thorough 86-page report on the mass-murder, failed to mention Islam a single time. As former Navy Secretary and 9/11 Commissioner John Lehman toldTime when the report was issued, the Pentagon’s silence “shows you how deeply entrenched the values of political correctness have become[.]… It’s definitely getting worse, and is now so ingrained that people no longer smirk when it happens.”

The Left was anti-anti-communist too, up until the Soviet Union collapsed and the truth cam out. Then of course they were always against Communism. Wonder what the source of their humiliating hypocrisy will be with Islamism.
