Also, I think it’s important to remember that the US Constitution forbids a religious test for government officials. It’s not even an amendment, but in the original document. You cannot prohibit Muslims from joining or remaining in the Army.

Hassan should have been discharged for a number of reasons, but not for being a Muslim.

We also should remember that we did not win in Iraq without millions of Muslims on our side, and we have zero chance of winning in Afghanistan without Muslim allies. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have died for their country. Muslims per se are not the enemy.
