I don’t know why folks seem to be getting their knickers in a twist about this. Ms. Munley isn’t the one crowing about her deeds. And from what I read in earlier reports, Hasan shot HER first, so it’s likely her return fire either didn’t hit him at all, or was not effective. But she DID slow Hasan down, and distract him, so that her partner could get the effective shots off. Sounds like they worked as a good team.

Thank you. May God rest the souls of those who succumbed on that day, and may He bring peace and comfort, to the hearts and minds of those who lived through it.

Anyone who will get between me and a terrorist is a hero. Including whoever is next to me that I graab and use as a shield, that person will also be a hero.

You got it right, SuziQ. SGT Todd was the first one to pump lead into the terrorist, and he and SGT Munley did perform as a team. They spared countless lives. God bless them.

How come I seen her and the American-African Sergeant on Oprah yesterday and they were both supporting her doing the point blank shooting with the terrorist shooting her right back??? What's up with that???
No! I wasn't watching the African Queen!! Mrs. Waspman was!!!

I don't know I wasn't there...did you read thru that email at post #34.
That is an eye witness who was there.
To: SierraWasp
It’s possible that Munley shot at Hasan, but if he got the shot off, and hit her first, her shot might not have connected. Because she engaged him, and he shot her, he had to reload, and that gave her partner the chance to take Hasan down. So what Todd said is right, even though he may have been the one to actually take Hasan down.

American heros come to mind. And so much for multiple shooters being involved. It is nice to see the authorities going public as quickly as they have with the intent to charge this prick in the deaths of thirteen people. Hope his military trial is quick and just. No use bull shitting around and letting some lawyer try to pull some crap off.

Just a question....what TV was that?
Your referring to last night so ...would guess it is something other than Oprah.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Yeah it is. I saw that as a forwarded e-mail and had had doubts but it has been backed up so doubts are gone.
Both cops reacted with righteous mettle and valor.

This isn't a surprise to people here on this board as they have been accounts of Sgt. Todd downing Hasan and handcuffing him already. Some here speculated that Munley was another Jessica Lynch. The NY TIMES is desperately trying be relevant and shift the discussion.
My understanding was and is that Munley shot him first then Todd downed him.

I don't know, Ernest. The substantiation of the "eye witness" is not conclusive, from what I'm seeing.
Furthermore, why is anyone but the Muslims having a problem with her being the heroine? I could easily understand their frustration with a little wisp of a woman demonstrating the courage and training of a US lady policewoman!!!
Her humiliation of this tormented terrorist has exposed still more cowardice of those chickenchits who would be terrorists in the future. Her fellow Sergeant sat quietly right next to her with a stowic straight face and backed her story on national TV to the hilt!!!
