OK, let me clarify a few things:

RLFebo is banned for good reason. I, nor will any Admin here allow a personal attack on one, any, or all members of this forum for any reason. I don't care if you disagree 100% with a discussion, people (that includes you & me) are entitled to their opinions and should be allowed to say or post them without that type of outburst. As long as I've been a member of this site (which goes back to when it all started originally) it has been an open/free speech forum that allows personal expression pretty much unchecked. But we do have limits.

Do I believe Muslims should be allowed into the military, sure I do, especially if they were born and raised here. And that also comes with an understanding that anybody (not just a Muslim) can enlist for the purpose of hurting our military efforts to help the enemy. Why should we automatically trust that someone who is not a U.S. citizen would 100% be with us instead of trying to hurt us. Just seems too risky for me to allow foreigners into the military for that one reason.

I know that all Muslims are not terrorist or the enemy (and I'm sure most on this forum feel the same way), but there is no clear marker that distinguishes the honest, hard working peaceful Muslims from the ones that want to do what this guy did until it's too late. But in this case the markers were there which makes it that much worse.

Everybody needs to take a deep breath, relax a little here and understand that at a time of war, some things we don't like or think are wrong, happen for the right reason, which is protecting innocent lives and this country.
