Now that Biden will be housing 30,000 Afghans on our military bases, does anyone remember the murder of soldiers at Fort Hood Texas?

Lessons from the Fort Hood Terrorist Attack

Nov 5, 2020

November 5, two days after the election, marks the eleventh anniversary of Nidal Hasan’s terrorist attack at Fort Hood, Texas. Hasan’s murder of 13 Americans could easily have been prevented, but the previous administration chose to look the other way.
U.S. Army Major Nidal Hasan came to the attention of the FBI for the 18 emails he sent to terrorist mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki. Maj. Hasan, a self-described “soldier of Allah,” wanted Awlaki’s permission to kill American soldiers and innocent civilians in the cause of jihad. “Please keep me in your Rolodex in case you find me useful,” Hasan wrote, “and please feel free to call me collect.”
That rang alarms at the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in San Diego, and agents alerted the Washington Field office. The WFO response said: “Given the context of his military and medical research and the content of his, to date, unanswered email messages from al-Awlaki, WFO does not currently assess Hasan to be involved in terrorist activities.” The FBI boss dropped the case and that was a matter of policy.
President Obama refused to link Islam with terrorism and on his watch the FBI focused on Americans who advocated limited government and valued constitutional rights such as the First and Second Amendments. Islamic terrorists took full advantage.
On November 5, 2009, at Ford Hood, U.S. soldiers were getting their final medical checkups before deploying to Afghanistan. Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, yelled “Allahu akbar” and began gunning down the soldiers. His victims, all unarmed included private Francheska Velez, 21, who was pregnant. The Muslim major killed two other women that day along with 10 men, more than twice as many victims as the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.
Hasan also wounded more than 40 others, including Sergeant Alonzo Lunsford, who played dead before fleeing the building. Major Hasan chased down Lunsford, an African-American, and shot him seven times, including one bullet in the back. Major Hasan shot Sergeant Shawn Manning in the chest and pumped four rounds into Sgt. Patrick Zeigler. Hasan would have killed many more if civilian police officer Kim Munley had not wounded the terrorist.
The administration of POTUS 44, proclaimed the murder spree a case of “workplace violence,” not terrorism or even gun violence. This rendered Hasan’s victims ineligible for medals and other benefits related to combat. The following April, the White House declined Sgt. Lunsford’s request to meet with the president and explain the raw deal the government had dealt the Fort Hood victims.
