Survivors of the Fort Hood massacre described today how Major Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly gunned down unarmed soldiers, and then shot them again as they lay wounded on the floor.
Investigators believe more than 100 shots were fired from Hasan's gun in a matter of minutes. He was described as calm and methodical in his attack, pausing only to reload. Soldier Keara Bono survived the onslaught although she was wounded slightly in the back and grazed in the head.
Bono told "Good Morning America" today that she initially thought the scene of Hasan standing up, praising Allah and starting to fire was a drill. She didn't believe it was real even when she felt her own blood, she said.
"Then I looked to my left and right and I saw people that were bleeding," she said. That's when Bono realized that Hasan's rampage wasn't a drill.
"I started crawling, I called 911 with my phone to my side... and I turned back and looked at him. He was about two body lengths away from me, longways, shooting people on the ground still. So I was just waiting to get shot in the back," she said.

“No matter what the cost, we must rid the planet of as many of these murderers as we can.”
That would mean killing a billion people.
Certainly the US military would not refuse to let someone go because they wanted “diversity”.
Do you know what the requirements are for someone who hid higher education, got a masters, became an MD, become a resident a Walter Reid?
If we do not know the answer to this it is a big gap. The US military refused to let him go ... and I will not accept a “diversity” excuse.

This bozo can KMA
Because all weapons on a military post are secured in each unit’s arms room, and they are only issued when authorized for training. They are individually signed for by a soldier when issued, and accounted for when returned. Ammunition is stored at the base’s Ammo Supply Point, and only issued when authorized, as during range qualifications or live-fire exercises. Every round must be accounted for both before, and after, the unit has been issued ammunition. Spent brass and unused ammunition must be returned to the ASP and accounted for.
This is to prevent anyone from pocketing live ammo.
Privately owned firearms are not authorized to be carried on a military installation.
Only Military Police are authorized to carry loaded weapons when on duty. Even then, they may not carry more ammo than issued from the MP unit’s arms room, and must sign both for the sidearm and the ammo. And they’d better return the same amount of ammo as they were issued, along with the weapon.
Hope that helps.
Yeah, that worked out so well for the Romans.
Do you know why they tell you it's a religion of peace? For the same reason a doctor tells you it won't hurt ( because it will ) or a sociopath tells you that you can trust him ( because you can't ). In short Muslims tell you it's a religion of peace because it's not. It's a religion of war, envy, and hatred.
“Certainly the US military would not refuse to let someone go because they wanted diversity.”
That’s not what I meant. Sorry I wasn’t clear. I’m asking, was no action taken because of diversity’s practice of tolerance, where people who witness problems within a certain group but are paralyzed to do the right thing because of fear of backlash. The current climate in the DoD is pushing diversity very hard.
If another soldier from an “unprotected” group had said the same things Hasan did, there would have been an investigation. I believe because this guy is a muslim officer, people were afraid to take appropriate action after his comments and actions were exposed. As a result people treaded lightly around him and he was shuffled from once command to another to “get rid of the problem in my backyard.”
I’ve witnessed several situations, one just a few weeks ago, where leaderrs are terrified of politically correct taboo topics and react hysterically—they are afraid of their careers going down in flames for being branded a bigot. In my opinion this fear is fanned by the diversity information campaign currently pushed.
Common sense is snuffed and the “problem people” just get moved around instead of facing the problem head on to resolve it.
We have become so afraid of groups like CAIR suing we allow nutjobs to act suspiciously on airplane flights, with the people who complained being sued.
A: Nineteen Muslims plus four hi-jacked airliners. Anything less than this is not categorized as a "terrorist attack" by the U.S. government.

He needs a transfusion of 100% pork blood! Let him see what Paradise is like then.
Because it was done by a member of a dem protected victim group.
The M uslim S ympathizing M edia would have figured this out in a New York minute if the killer had been a white middle class American citizen who was a member of the NRA... All of us - all conservatives - would have been tarred with the same brush if that had been the case...
They might court martial her for being a "hater"...
Still, we do not know why they would not let him out. He was in the military for a long time. I would have thought that he had stayed in for the required time.
Apparently no one knows how long he had to remain in the military to work off his education.
Getting closer...

You bring up a good point. Since he earned his degree on the military’s dime, he must have obligated time.
