Dear Lee, Dozens of Muslim organizations, including many connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, have successfully destroyed the career of an exemplary Army officer. Of course, they couldn't have done it without the complicity of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey.
This is not a unique situation. There is an ongoing purge in our national defense and law enforcement departments to remove ANY reference to Islam deemed "offensive" to the Muslim Brotherhood. This politically correct, outrageous and dangerous purge will only end when enough Americans concerned about radical Islam make it clear we've had enough. Right now, the practical reality is the Muslim Brotherhood is dictating to national leaders what should and should not be contained in our national security training programs! In other words, our national voice needs to be louder and stronger than the Muslim Brotherhood's voice. It's not good enough to feel outraged. We need to work together to build that national voice, and we need your help!

Muslims Offended—Soldier's Career Destroyed—Official Army Records Show Loss to Nation http://www.thomasmore.org/press-releases/2012/10/muslims-offended-soldier-s-career-destroyed-official-army-records-show-loss-n October 8th, 2012 ANN ARBOR, MI – During a Pentagon press conference on May 10, 2012, General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, publicly excoriated Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Matthew Dooley, a 1994 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and a highly decorated combat veteran. His reason: The course on Islamic Radicalism which LTC Dooley was teaching at the Joint Forces Staff College (JFSC) of the National Defense University was offensive to Muslims. General Dempsey characterized LTC Dooley's course as "totally objectionable," and ordered all material offensive to Islam scrubbed from military professional education within the JFSC and elsewhere. But that's not all. LTC Dooley was fired from his instructor position and given an ordered negative Officer Evaluation Report (OER) — the death-knell for a military career. The actions against LTC Dooley follow a letter to the Department of Defense dated October 19, 2011 signed by 57 Muslim organizations demanding that all training materials offensive to Islam and Muslims be purged and the trainers disciplined. A review of LTC Dooley's OERs going back several years, including his OER as an instructor with JFSC, paint a picture of an outstanding officer with unlimited potential:
The Thomas More Law Center, a national nonprofit public interest law firm, based in Ann, Arbor, Michigan, represents LTC Dooley. The Law Center decided to disclose excerpts from five of LTC Dooley's previous Officer Evaluation Reports (OER) in order to give the public an idea of the loss to the Army and our Nation caused by the actions taken against LTC Dooley. What happened to LTC Dooley is more than a personal miscarriage of justice. When instructors are prohibited from teaching military officers about the true threat posed by Islamic Radicalism, it is a threat to our national security. Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Law Center observed, "As you read his OERs, linked here, I'm sure you will come to several conclusions about Matt Dooley. First, he is an outstanding officer and had a brilliant career ahead of him. Secondly, he loyally served every one of his commanders. Third, he was respected by the men under his command. Fourth, his superiors at the Joint Forces Staff College considered him an outstanding instructor. And lastly, after all he has done for his country and the Army his superiors sacrificed him to the dogs of political correctness." OERs are required at least once a year and are normally completed by two superiors, namely, a rater and a senior rater. The rating officer on an OER is usually the rated officer's immediate supervisor, an officer of higher rank, who is most familiar with the rated soldier's specific duties and performance. The senior rater is a leader who occupies the next higher duty position up from the rater and is best positioned to assess both the rated soldier's performance in comparison to his peers, as well as the rated soldier's future potential to serve in higher ranks and increased levels of responsibility. The OERs clearly demonstrate that LTC Dooley's raters and senior raters all considered him an outstanding officer and advocated his rapid promotion and advancement to the highest levels of responsibility. Like many of his peers serving alongside him in the military, LTC Dooley has served honorably and with distinction through a number of complex operating environments. Nevertheless, he has become the latest victim of the "Great Purge" to appease the 57 Muslim groups which demanded that instructors using materials offensive to Islam be disciplined. In fact, after General Dempsey's public rebuke, a negative OER was ordered and prepared with direction from the Pentagon covering the period from June 2011 to June 2012. In contrast to the inaccurate and unjust comments in the Pentagon-directed negative OER, the excerpts from earlier OERs describe LTC Dooley's outstanding performance. LTC Matt Dooley attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he graduated and received his commission as a Second Lieutenant, Armor Branch in May 1994. His assignments included deployment to Bosnia, Kuwait, and Iraq for a total of six operational and combat tours over the course of his career. He served as a Tank Platoon Leader, Tank Company Commander, Headquarters Company Commander, Aide-de-Camp (to three General Officers), and Instructor at the Joint Combined Warfare School. He is a graduate of the Command and General Staff College as well as the Joint Forces Staff College.
