Fascinating .... Does this mean that POS Hasan is officially an enemy combatant?
That’s uncomfortably close to saying the attack was a military attack and not a civil crime...which leads us to question trying KSM in New York...
Seems like a no brainer to me aside from the fact that 0 has declared the War on Terror to be over.
Will they also get a shout-out from the Commander In Chief?
I think they should be given the Purple Heart. I wonder if the victims of Sgt. Akbar in Iraq were awarded the Purple Heart, or the victims in Little Rock a couple of months ago.
Maybe there should be a new medal for the victims of liberal diversity policy.
I think this will, on its face, make this an act of war (terror) rather than a crime....unless the RATs in congress decide to make a Purple Heart signify anything they want it to...just because they can.
Was it necessary to pass such a Bill for the victims at The Pentagon on 9/11....or for those killed or wounded at Pearl Harbor?
I don’t like the idea. Do service members who are killed by illegal immigrants on welfare get a purple heart?
I think the Purple Heart should be restricted to injuries sustained on the battlefield.
Suggestions:
A skull and bones with a rainbow background?
A tombstone with rainbow triangle?
ehh...that's it but you guys get the idea.
Makes sense. Didn’t military personnel injured during the Pearl Harbor attack receive purple hearts?
“don’t jump to conclusions”
If they get the Purple Heart, that means they were wounded in combat. If they were wounded in combat, psycho-doc was an enemy combatant, not a psycho-doc. If Obambi vetos the Purple Heart bill, he looks like crap. If he signs it, there was a terrorist attack on US soil, and he looks worse. Obama: Is there some way I can vote “present”?
I predict he will neither sign it or veto it, and the bill will lapse into law after the constitutional time period passes.
911 military vicims got one....

Bob Gates needs to step up or resign...
No way in HELL these people should be considered for a purple heart. ONLY those wounded by an enemy of America....oh, wait......
Call your congress critters and get them behind this~!
I absolutely agree with this- these soldiers died at the hands of our common enemy. They deserve the medal.
I think it’s an excellent idea, because, for one thing, it brings the focus back to the people who died - and the fact that they died in the military, on a military base, killed by an enemy of their country.
The press and the government have completely forgotten them and are stepping all over each other trying to defend their killer. Have we gone mad?
Lol, this is an awesome move:
Yes to purple hearts - Hasan is a terrorist.
No to purple hearts - Democrats show their flippancy for our armed forces.
They are wounds recieved in combat against our enemy!
Duh....
