Having served as a military officer and written about race in the army, I’ve decided to add my two cents to the discussion on the massacre at Fort Hood in which a Muslim, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, killed 13 people. The incident brings home the point I made in “Diversity in the Army,” published in American Renaissance: “America now fights its wars in the Third World, and our policy of putting Third World people in the military is dangerous.” I explicitly warned against the possibility that a Third World soldier, who sided with America’s enemies due to his ethnic origins, would commit a deadly act against his fellows in arms. As far as I know, no high-ranking officer has read the article and certainly none has acted on its suggestions. Had anyone done so, perhaps the massacre would have been prevented.

As far as I know, no high-ranking officer has read the article and certainly none has acted on its suggestions. Had anyone done so, perhaps the massacre would have been prevented.
Despite the shock and media attention surrounding this incident, it needs to be viewed in the proper context. White soldiers in the US Army are more likely to be murdered or harmed by blacks than Jihadists. Nevertheless, we should not underestimate the harm done to the army by other kinds of non-whites. When I was in the service, I was struck by just how hostile and troublesome these Third World “others” were. As a result of this experience, I usually try and focus my advocacy writing efforts at niche non-white threats such as Native Hawaiians and Sikhs.
Major Hasan was not a line officer. He was part of the military’s medical support staff. Doctors and other medical professionals are usually made captains the day they sign up, and any additional training adds rank quickly. I don’t know the statistics, but from personal experience I know that the military has a great many non-white medical officers. Elite whites, who make up the majority of doctors, tend to avoid military service so the Army must recruit the dregs of the medical schools. When I was down with a case of bronchitis during my days in the service, I was advised by several NCO’s to avoid the closest on-post clinic because the black doctor there was incompetent. Later I saw a Sikh, with beard and turban, a violation of army regulations, working at a dental clinic with the rank of colonel. As I’ve written elsewhere, Sikhs have their own unique terrorist potential, and I was shocked at the folly of recruiting this man and giving him such a high rank. Medical officers are, of course, highly educated, and the anti-white, anti-Western bent found in many of our educational institutions must surely affect their outlook. It was only a matter of time before a dangerous Muslim was recruited to a position in which he could do real damage.
What strikes me about this case is that Major Hasan “received a poor performance evaluation … . And while he was an intern, Hasan had some ‘difficulties’ that required counseling and extra supervision.” In other words, his supervisors found him to be off in some way. I sympathize with the difficulty these supervisors faced: it is very hard for a white supervisor to weed out a troublesome non-white subordinate because of the army’s Equal Opportunity Office. The military has a fierce, well funded and staffed EEO bureaucracy. Although the office is officially racially neutral, everyone knows how the deck is stacked. Personally, I was never able to dismiss unsatisfactory non-white subordinates, and other officers of my acquaintance experienced the same problem. One officer made a valiant attempt to block the promotion of an incompetent Korean lieutenant by refusing to sign his promotion paperwork only to have a different officer sign it with the commander’s blessing. In such cases, it is easier to just promote the troublemaker and transfer him to a different post. This is probably what happened in the case of Major Hasan.
Hasan’s actions are part of a pattern of behavior by Muslims. In June, a Muslim gunman killed a military recruiter in Arkansas, and in 2007, a Muslim conspiracy, fortunately foiled, targeted soldiers New Jersey. During the Cold War, the government screened recruits at all levels of government service, especially the military, for communists. No such screening is performed on Third World people joining the military. This situation needs to be changed. At a minimum, all Muslim military recruits need a second look. And the same goes for Muslims who are considered for any job in the US.
