Army translator program an invitation to jihadists?

After enlisting in the Army in 1965, Ft. Jackson was where I started. I remember marching through miles of sand in the hot summer. But I digress.

Hood report released last month is evidence of the culture of willful blindness that wants to pretend this threat doesn't exist. Regardless of how the Ft. Jackson incident is resolved, it demonstrates that this threat is not going away."
