The Fallen at Fort Hood - Justin M. DeCrow
Washington Post ^ | 11/6/2009 | Staff

Posted on 11/06/2009 9:03:38 PM PST by Saije

Justin M. DeCrow had been in the Army for 13 years.

At 32, Staff Sgt. Justin M. DeCrow had been in the Army for 13 years and -- with a wife, 13-year-old daughter and bothersome case of sleep apnea -- had decided it was time to become a civilian.

His mother, Rhonda Thompson, said Friday that DeCrow had returned over the summer from a year's deployment in South Korea to Evans, Ga., where he had built a house several years ago. His wife, Marikay -- whom he had known since the start of elementary school -- had a business there teaching children to ride horses. He had lined up a job as an Army contractor at nearby Fort Gordon in his specialty, training younger soldiers in satellite communications.

But last month, Thompson said, DeCrow was told to report to work at Fort Hood until the paperwork for his medical discharge came through.

After anxious hours of trying to call her son and sending him text messages, Thompson received a call early Friday from her sobbing daughter-in-law. Justin had been shot. No, he wasn't one of the people in the hospital.

Thompson last heard from her son Saturday. "Happy Halloween. I love you," his final text message to her said. She wrote back: "Same to you. Love you back."

Well you know its hard for Americans to understand that religious fervor is not derangement. He was not in fact deranged, which implies he was out of contol. This man Hasan was calm and methodical, he was conducting the religious ritual of a Mujihad, knowing that if he died, both he and his victims would join before Allah in heaven.

Thats hard for us to wrap our minds around, but he was not deranged at all.

Take a look:

Witnesses described Hasan, who was wearing an Army uniform during the assault, as steely calm. He paused only to reload one of his handguns.

(Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.) )She said he targeted specific people as he stalked through a deployment center, two handguns blazing.* (Senator Hutchison took notes from people who were at the scene, knowing the facts would be spun.)

“It was very deliberate in his approach, they said that he was calm,” Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone, the base commander at Fort Hood, told “Good Morning America” today.

“He was shooting people more than once if he could,” said Cone.

Munley took down a stone, cold killer, who was fully in control of himself, a Mahujadine blazing with the inner spiritual fire of Allah, pure evil. That makes her deed all the more heroic.Allah and Jehovah in that sense had a shoot out, and Jehovah got the drop on Allah.Stopped him cold.
That makes her accomplishment all the more significant. And the Muzzies are trembling over it, as well they should.

God almighty did send an angel, and she was victorious.
God bless her and keep her.She is every American patriot. The nation is full of us.

Prayers up for those who lost their loved ones to this religious genocide.
