Gen. Casey said what he said because he's a politician in a uniform. He serves at the pleasure of SecDef and POTUS. Your opinions must always reflect the ruling regime's agenda if you want to keep your job. Just ask Shinseki who got cashiered for contradicting military decisions regarding Iraq in the Bush era.
Gen. Casey couldn't say anything else or his career would have been over with in a less than a hour. Ideally he should have, but he put his balls in a lockbox and threw away the keys a long time ago.
Now if a Bush was in charge, Casey wouldn't have to worry about PC/MC so much. He could make comments like Gen. Boykin did in several speeches, which mortified the Left.
But even Bush was no great shakes when it came to Islam. Frankly he was a disaster.
And yes politics do play a role. Lefties are far more intolerant of criticism of Muslims than the Right. I would say to the point of going apeshit on those who do. Just ask Robert about his reception on college campuses.
The point is, his comments were entirely predictable given the regime he serves. That regime has made it abundantly clear Islam and Muslims are not the enemy to the point of firing people within the government who say otherwise.
