Oh, this can not be good at all. I caught a glimpse of the story on Fox News within the last couple of hours. If this is true, what are the implications for our American forces? If they are unable to trust their own…
Hat tip to Malkin, but she points us to the exclusive story written by CBN political analyst Erick Stakelbeck.
CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas. It is unclear whether the men are still in custody. The five were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.
The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.
Fox News also has a blurb.
The U.S. Army is investigating allegations that soldiers were attempting to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson in South Carolina.
The ongoing probe began two months ago, Chris Grey, a spokesman for the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, told Fox News.
The Army is taking the allegations “extremely seriously,” Grey said, but so far, “there is no credible information to support the allegations.”
The suspects were part of a Arabic translation program called “09 Lima” and use Arabic as their first language, two sources told Fox News. Another military source said they were Muslim.
Grey would not confirm or deny the sources’ information.

There could be no connection between their suspected actions and the teachings of Islam to kill infidels. I suppose it would be politically incorrect to point out that the suspects are Muslim. Never mind, diversity in our military is a paramount goal.
Not surprised how small the news reporting was on this, when more attention was given to that pilot who killed himself by flying his airplane into a building. Strange indeed.
As a fellow prior service member said after the shootings ” The Army has to fix this problem.” The military cannot be PC. They have to be discriminatory. Lives depend on it. PC wise, those who don”t meet the requirements can support the effort from a civilian position. We sometimes have to shelve personal goals / feelings for the common good. We must indeed think critically, being careful what we ask for. Else, what is the point.
My Brother in law is serving at Ft Jackson.
Not surprised.
My Granddaughter’s boyfriend just finished training there. Lots of guys got ill eating food in December.
Army chow is lousy, but so many getting ill in December? It’s contamination, flu or they DID put something in the food. Nothing fatal but they could have tested to see how many could effect prior to poisoning. Security’s non-existent at Jackson. No ID checks on carloads of people! I could get on-base and poison everyone easily.
