Equal opportunity backfires
Much hubbub and head-scratching has been generated regarding why the clues and signals regarding this horrific crime at Fort Hood were not recognized. Equal Opportunity complaints on an officer or senior noncommissioned officer's efficiency evaluation will destroy a career more quickly than incompetency. EO is the concept the military machine has implemented regarding matters of race, religion or ethnicity. In this case, of course, religious issues were being expressed. When EO issues arise, leaders walk on eggshells, ignore and pretend all is well.
A negative EO remark on an officer evaluation record or noncommissioned officer evaluation will ensure the recipients a posting at West LaLa Land, Toskarora.
Now let's watch the government spend a half-billion dollars on a congressional investigation.
