War On Terrorism: We have a medal for those who remotely operate drones, but the Pentagon claims awarding the victims of the 2009 shooting with Purple Hearts would jeopardize the shooter's chance at a fair trial.
We recently noted that the Obama administration's shameful designation of the Nov. 5, 2009, rampage at the Army base in Killeen, Texas, by Major Nidal Hasan as "workplace violence" had denied survivors benefits they would have been entitled to had the attack been properly labeled an act of terror.
For example, Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning was shot six times but was denied benefits that would accrue to a soldier injured in an act of terror or a battle overseas.
Manning says the "workplace violence" designation has cost him almost $70,000 in benefits that would have been available if his injuries were classified as "combat related."
One would expect that when a self-proclaimed "Soldier of Allah" shouting "Allahu Akbar" opens fire on dozens of U.S. citizens and soldiers, killing and maiming as many innocents as he can, it would have been called an act of terror.
FBI and Congressional investigations have found that the Ft. Hood attack, like Benghazi, was indeed an act of terror in the midst of a war on terror, but the politically correct Obama administration persists in playing word games rather than honoring America's heroes.
Now the Army and the Defense Department is trying to ward off legislation that would correct this injustice, designate the Ft. Hood attack an act of terror, and authorize the survivors to receive the full benefits and Purple Hearts they earned.

Why is Hassan still alive?
Clue: It aint because of Texas.
But homo troops who catch STDs will get pink ribbons.
Major Hasan will never go to trial. His trial would reveal facts that would be far too inconvenient and embarrassing to the new gay friendly Obama military. This man is a tormented deranged homosexual. This thirty five year old man claims he could never find a wife sufficiently devout. In reality he joined ROTC, a manly institution,and became a psychiatrist in a futile attempt to treat himself. He embraced his native religion which officially has no tolerance for homosexuals. No doubt army investigators found interesting information on his computer, past associations and in his apartment that the current administration does not want publicized. Did anyone really believe a murder trial could be delayed because a defendant refuses to shave?
Obama sucks and so do his voters.

I shouldn’t read this stuff—I just get mad! GRRRRRR........
This happened very close to our country property. Who knew that our service men and women gave up their 2nd Amendment rights to fight for our country. I certainly didn’t.
We now know people living on these bases have to give up their 2nd Amendment Rights.
Ye gads!
You nailed it! Official PC policy ,blind eye for the queer jihad guy!
bump this is so unjust
THIS is my next big thing along with finding out why Navy SEALS are dropping dead like flies...especially from SEAL Team 6.

Who is the greater threat to our veterans; Al Qaeda, other jhadis or Obama and his fellow travelers?
They were just killed by a muslim, “What’s the bid deal? We know this already!”.
I get so pissed reading this type of crap. Things like this have lead me to hate the cult of death and every member of it. I know in my heart that I should not hate, but I have been having problems with that since 9/11. I wonder if my hate is justified as a result of terrorism. At the moment, I do not give Muslims a chance at anything. At least I am not killing them. This is the best I can do as a Christian.

This is so very disgusting and disgraceful. Words fail. It’s just another indication of the utter corruption of our government.
Especially since prisons are not in the habit of handing out razors to the inmates.
Likely because they are being used by our government to provide cover for illicit undercover operations.
His trial would reveal facts that would be far too inconvenient.....
Add to that Hasan being part of the Obama transition team? Hasan is being protected.
