Why is this trial even continuing?

the murderer has admitted he did it

The defense should rest

you can’t get any more guilty than guilty

And, this action, had it been on a battlefield might have resulted in the ultimate honor.

Yet, because this was just a f@cking workplace Muslim (one of literally millions of brain damaged Muslims in this country)in an understandably bad mood, the MSM and our government would rather this soldier’s heroism die in quiet ignominy.

This is not the country in which I was born. Not even close.

Yes...but you can get less guilty if you are Muslim or black...or both.

New societal rules, remember?

As others have pointed out, we won WWII in less time than it has taken for the military to get this guy to trial. Shameful.

If he absorbed 12 of Hassan’s bullets, then he really did some good in saving some lives.

Freddie’s a hero. A statue should be erected to him.

You are absolutely right. He saved his fellow soldiers lives at the cost of his own. It is reprehensible that he did not even get a Purple Heart. We all know that the reason he has not been decorated is it would make 0bama look bad.

Or, how long does it take to dig a 6 foot trench?

And Maj. Nidal Hasan would have continued killing people ,
until an off-duty police officer , armed with a handgun
shot and incapacitated Maj. Nidal Hasan !!

Heroes ALL !!

and yet their families are denied deceased veterans benefits
While Maj. Nidal Hasan continues to collect his army salary

GUN CONTROL CREATES VICTIMS !!

I had not heard of Spc. Fredrick Greene, 29, of Mountain City, Tenn., was identified as the solider shot 12 times while he charged at Hasan.

An unsung hero
Rest in Peace , my brother ..

Related, if not approrpriate here, but:

The fact this hero was hit 17 times tells me that the FN Five-seveN used by the terrorist does not have the mythical “knock down” power all the pundits said it had.

Meanwhile, here in NY, if an assailant is charging you, you only get seven shots to stop him.
