This is a re-posting of my Nov. 7 comments regarding the female cop at Fort Hood who has been credited for taking down Nidal Malik Hasan during the massacre there two days earlier. A reader objected and asked that I take the post down; I obliged, thinking that perhaps more time needed to pass before I risked “making a point” with what I think now is something that needs to be said — and needs to be heard by all of Doug Wilson’s fans and followers.
Wilson has said before that a nation “defended by its women” is not “a nation worth defending.” The off-duty base police officer who heard the call over her scanner came upon Hasan, who shot her four times, and ended the massacre by shooting him back. She has rightly been hailed one of many heroes in evidence that day.
I trust that Wilson’s pride in his nation and its soldiers has not become an unfortunate — frankly, an indefensible — casualty of last week’s horrific massacre.
