I mean, I don’t want to offend. But this is combat to my eyes. They came under enemy fire. And it is a chance to point out to General Diversity that if he insists that soldiers die for diversity (instead of freedom), at least they should be honored for it.
I’ve emailed my reps, such as they are, to agitate for awarding the Purple Heart to the dead/wounded of the Fort Hood massacre.
This needs to be made an upfront in your face political issue that forces the POTUS, the Army Chief of Staff, and the entire chain of command to say either YES or NO and know the reason why!
These Soldiers were killed or wounded by a known enemy terrorist! The Purple Heart honors those whose blood was shed in wartime, whether they were actively engaging the enemy or not. And Nidal Hasan is the terrorist enemy, he is for now the tip of their spear!!
