Did US servicemen die because of political correctness? I'm hearing now that the sick dog that killed all those people at Ft. Hood had been making radical statements for some time and no one reported/acted on them because no one wanted to be seen as discriminating against him because of his faith.

I understand some people are worried about the "antiHubChallenge" or whatever it's called, and I just wanted to say something on a personal level to get my own thoughts out in the open about it. And this is my PERSONAL view - yes, we do have a HubChallenge team and we...
