US Army sticks 'war on Islam' teacher in bureaucratic depths

on Tuesday, November 27, 2012

Once, Army Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley’s superiors wrote that he was a "must-select" for command and promotion to full colonel. Then Dooley taught a class to senior U.S. officers musing about a "total war" on Islam, which the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Martin Dempsey, shut down. Now, Dooley has his next assignment – deep in the bowels of the Army bureaucracy, far from command.

Dooley's Army career has been in jeopardy after he received an administrative reprimand for his elective course at the Joint Forces Staff College, which discussed using "Hiroshima"-style tactics against Islam's holiest cities as part of a "total war." But the Army didn't fire Dooley. It sent him to bureaucratic limbo instead.
