Survivors Say Fort Hood Gunman Shot the Wounded Again
ABC News ^ | 11/07/09 | EMILY FRIEDMAN and SARAH NETTER

Posted on 11/07/2009 9:38:27 AM PST by BunnySlippers

Survivors of the Fort Hood massacre described today how Major Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly gunned down unarmed soldiers, and then shot them again as they lay wounded on the floor.

Investigators believe more than 100 shots were fired from Hasan's gun in a matter of minutes. He was described as calm and methodical in his attack, pausing only to reload. Soldier Keara Bono survived the onslaught although she was wounded slightly in the back and grazed in the head.

Bono told "Good Morning America" today that she initially thought the scene of Hasan standing up, praising Allah and starting to fire was a drill. She didn't believe it was real even when she felt her own blood, she said.

"Then I looked to my left and right and I saw people that were bleeding," she said. That's when Bono realized that Hasan's rampage wasn't a drill.

"I started crawling, I called 911 with my phone to my side... and I turned back and looked at him. He was about two body lengths away from me, longways, shooting people on the ground still. So I was just waiting to get shot in the back," she said.

She can expect a call from the FBI and IRS to change that story to something a little more muslim-friendly.

It is being called a terrorist attack.

But not by the main stream fringe media or the president.

America knows it’s another terrorist attack under Obama’s administration. This one’s just the biggest one since Obama took office.

The family, the MSM, the muslim community, the government officials, et al, can spin it however they want, but in Hasan's mind he was committing a cold, calculated, overt, intentional act of terrorism.

"Does anyone know how often he would have re-enlisted in the military to pay off his medical education? And how often are the reenlistments? Aren’t they like every four years?"

He wasn't enlisted, he was an officer. He signed a contract that said the government would pay for his medical school, and in return, he'd have an obligation to serve for "x" period of years. It can vary depending on what kind of physician you are (and how much training the govt. pays for) but it's usually 4-6 years of active duty, with a reserve obligation of anywhere from 2-4 years after that.

He wouldn't sign any other document other than his first candidate and service contract.

"Does anyone know how often he would have re-enlisted in the military to pay off his medical education? And how often are the reenlistments? Aren’t they like every four years?"

This muslim was a major...he was commissioned, not enlisted, so he would not have had a term of enlistment so to speak...the expiration date on his ID card would have said "INDEF". Officers in the normal accessions branches (i.e. infantry, armor, quartermaster, military police, etc.) usually incur an 8 year obligation...for West Pointers, it's a max of five years active, 3 reserve. For ROTC scholarship, it's 4 and 4, and ROTC non-scholarship, it's 3 and 5. The "Professional" branches (i.e. Doctors, Dentists, JAG Lawyers and Chaplains) are managed somewhat differently, but typically, they incur the normal obligations outlined above + an additional 2 years active duty for each year of post-graduate education.

There may be some exceptions but this is the general rule of thumb.

Thank you for your response. Unless his family tells us when his commission expired, sounds like we won’t know. And the military is bound by privacy laws so they can’t tell us.

But hi family made it sound like he had been trying to get our for many years.

Because, being a natural born sneak, cheat and liar Hussein Obama’s religion prefers Chinese Fire Drills in the west; you know the one where the car is brought to an abrupt halt at an intersection, everyone gets out running around the car yelling then get back in the car and drive off like mad until the next incident. So, what should we call the drill now Terror Drills, Muszi Fire Drills or IslamaDrills. As demonstrated by Obama Administration Czar Credo, “Power comes largely from the barrel of a gun.”

Well, I have a feeling he'll be spending the remainder of his days as a private at Ft. Leavenworth turning big rocks into small ones once he recovers from his coma.

Of course he would shoot the wounded - his goal was to kill.

If his objective was to move himself (or his troops) from one place to another, secure a building, or take some position, he probably wouldn’t stop to shoot the wounded.

but his objective WAS to kill.

Egads, far too many of the article’s comments are blaming everyone except the monster and that if we’d just all hug each other bad things wouldn’t happen.

Also, the picture of the monster should be removed from the picture of the soldier.

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit. A Pentagon spokesman recently repeated the media mantra...stress due to future deployment and conflict about the war.

Long term...the war on terror is lost, we should just give up due to being wussy.

Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that we should be declaring war on radical Islam? Radical Islam will kill you just for being an "afront" to Islam. Of course, to a radical Islamist, anyone who is not a Muslim, including Christians, Jews, etc. is an afront to Islam. Even some moderate Muslims are an afront to Islam in the radical's eyes. In short, racial Islamist zealots will never live in peace with us. Our only hope for peace is complete extermination of radical Islam.

Of course it’s a terrorist attack. And all the liberals who have rushed to defend the terrorist are responsible morally for the NEXT victims of the NEXT terrorist attack.

What needs to happen is that the murderer is chained to a post in the middle of a public square. Normal people will then administer the justice that our “justice” system doesn’t want to give.

Mass deportations.

“How could he fire 100 rounds on a military base with 55,000 troops without being fired upon?”

Because while the military claims to have discipline they really do not, so they do not trust military members to be armed with private weapons. The military carefully and strictly controls when a members has access to a firearm.

You hit that nail on the head. It was mere moments in to the shooting when, even before they arrived on scene, the FBI put out an announcement that it "was NOT a terrorist attack".

Indeed. I’m going to snap if I here one more mediot tell me Hasan “snapped”. No, he didn’t snap. His actions all morning tell you he didn’t snap. This was pre-meditated. This was Muslim-inspired and it was deliberate.

Or do you want to convince me Army psychiatrists just happen to walk around with extra clips to reload their guns as part of everyday military life.

Haman ignored the order.

The policy is total BS. We most likely would have saved lives of some of our soldiers had they all been armed that day. Or the terrorist would have thought twice about the resistance he would have faced.
