AWOL Soldier Arrested Over Concerns of Second Alleged Fort Hood Attack Claimed Religious Harassment During Basic Training

Poor iddle baby. Everybody gets harassed during basic training, for one reason or another. That’s part of the basic training experience. They try to weed out people who can’t cope with stress. Obviously they missed one.
“Some of them would say I hate Jews, some of them even asked me, ‘Would you kill your own family? Are you sure you’re not on the wrong side?’” Abdo told FoxNews.com exclusively during a phone interview last September. “It was daily. It was daily for sure.”
Now he knows what Christians go through every day in Muslim countries. They, however, don’t react by planning to murder people.

The police were tipped off by the guy running the gun store. Heard an interview with him today and he said that Abdo was buying up gunpowder in big quantities but didn’t seem to know anything about it. There are dozens of different reloading powders and they have different properties so that various sizes of cartridges can be reloaded. So when you ask which one the customer wants and he replies that he doesn’t care, it’s a pretty good tip that he isn’t going to use it for the acceptable purpose.
The Army’s campaign of political correctness is proving to be a terrible minefield.

He’s calling himself a “conscientious objector” – I object to his using that term. There’s nothing conscientious about voluntarily joining the military and then refusing to do your duty just because you don’t like it and you think people are being “mean” to you.
