Nidal Hasan, a major in the US Army and a psychiatrist, November 5, 2009 murdered 13 people and wounded many others. This happened at Fort Hood, Texas.
I did a search today and didn't find any kind of update. The last that I read was, yes, the trial came to a screeching halt because this man refused to shave.
As I best understand it, the prosecutor is saying the witnesses may have a hard time identifying him because of the beard (I doubt that). And, of course, he's claiming because he is Muslim he can't shave.
Well, he'd surely been shaving up until the time her murdered 13 people.
This is truly amazing. Truly.
Also, the judge was removed. I can't remember why.
Let's see, yes, I was in the service for a while. And, yes, I shaved everyday. That's sort of what you do when you're in the service.
Also, the service owns you. Yes, it does and that's the way it is. They can send you anywhere they want. They can tell you to do any job they want you to do. And, if you give them a hard time you're going to end up in the stockade or brig or what-have-you.
And, you obey all orders, period! No, of course, you don't have to obey an order that is obviously against the law.....
Wow, I wonder what would of happened to me if I refused to shave? Well, I wasn't Muslim.
Is this a worthwhile pursuit for a fellow in his golden years? Shouldn't I be spending my time on something a little more...well, meaningful or something? Hey, how many more years do I have and how much of that time do I want to spend here, on this blog, about sauce and stuff? March 17, 2013, well, yes, I'm still buying different brands and types of sauce, though it seems as though the sauces are playing at best a minor part on this blog. Oh, well, what can I say...
