A lot of civilian guards have been replaced by military who have rotated back from the desert. It depends on the base. I was out at Hood temporarily and they had a ton of civilian guards when I was there. This was in 2008.

Well, looky here. ABC doing a random act of journalism?

Yes, but isn’t it interesting that they look into interviewing her after Obamugabe’s alleged re-election?

“...the military has denied the victims a Purple Heart and is treating the incident as ‘workplace violence’ instead of ‘combat related’ or terrorism.”

While the workplace violence designation is ludicrous the award of the Purple Heart to civilians was specifically banned by the Army before 9-11.I left in 2006 and unless there have been changes the following remains true:

Several civilians , especially AMC Project manager Saudi Arabian National Guard who were injured in the 1995 terrorist attack received the Purple Heart for injuries incurred. in that event on 13 November 1995, a 220-pound car bomb exploded in a parking lot adjacent to an office building housing the Office of the Program Manager, Saudi Arabian National Guard, in Riyadh, causing five U.S. and two Indian fatalities.

I think several others were awarded for injuries incurred in Former Yugoslavia. Uniformed service personnel and such veterans groups as the VFW became irate over the ‘degrading’ of the decoration by awarding it to some civilian feds. Before the events of 9-11 the Army specifically banned the award of the Purple Heart to any government or other civilian. There was a discussion of establishing a ‘civilian purple heart’ but the Army leadership had no interest in this and it went no where. I am no fan of the Mahdi, but this bit of contemptible behavior has more to do with petty jealousy within the Army family than anything else.

Sgt Munley can get together with the woman Obama used in NJ after Sandy who had yet to see a thing he’d promised.

There is no surprise here, when mac daddy spoke his first words as a baby it was a lie and to this day whenever he opens his mouth lies just pour out.

"Maybe she should start a support group with that Hurricane Sandy victim that Obama promised to help."

What are you talking about? Obama's support for the Sandy victims has been utterly fantastic. Just ask the blubbering Governor Christie.

She is a brave gal and few people know what she went through. Her leg was in really bad shape.I had the pleasure of meeting her at her parents business in NC. These people are the bests of the best, finest of the finest. For Obama not to take care of the wounded ,which does not surprise me,is a true outrage.

Kimberly is a mom and was a true brave patriot during the entire shooting.

As Winston Churchill said about mankind,
ABC “will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time will pick itself up and continue on.”

How does it feel to be a means to an end?

Does anybody else get the impression that BHO loves the bearded-savage-alaku-akbar-shouting subhumans and hates normal people?

Kimberly Munley says President Obama broke the promise he made to her that the victims would be well taken care of.

It's what serial liars absent any character do.

Not only is he welshing on the promise that the victims would be taken care of; he’s protecting the raghead perp who shot them!

Sgt. Munley’s calling out Obama as a liar re taking care of wounded military personnel, and in light of Obama’s pimping his supposed support of the military at his State of Disunion address tonight, the Ft. Hood plaintiffs could be the straw that breaks Obama’s back re the military.

The VA is in disarray and if I remember correctly, former Gen. Shinseki is in charge of it (and there is some civilian administrator there too).

They’ve had 4 years to straighten up things and apparently have not made any significant progress on many fronts.

Time for all veterans to go after Obama and his incompetents.
