Legislation that would award the injured from the 2009 Fort Hood shooting the Purple Heart would adversely affect the trial of Maj. Nidal Hasan by labeling the attack terrorism, according to a Defense Department document obtained by Fox News.

The document comes following calls from survivors and their families for the military honor, because they say Fort Hood was turned into a battlefield when Hasan opened fire during the November 2009 attack. Fox News is told that the DOD

Hasan is PROTECTED by Obama (for whom he worked in 2007 and 2008).
"Army Major (Hasan) Played Role in Presidential (Obama) Transition"

This was thoroughly covered by the MSM (not).

The Won and his administration are systematically dismantling our military. The Man’s Man type are now turning into the sissy-guys who want the military to be a test bed for everything PC and every liberal program that tears apart authority. Part of The Won’s “reformation” of this once great country.

How’s his plan going so far? He’s on monthly vacay, still in the ever present campaign mode as his minions do his dirty work.

“The Defense Department document says that to expand the Purple Heart criteria to include “domestic criminal acts or domestic terror attacks would be a dramatic departure” from traditional criteria.”
Yet “they” want to create a new medal for the desk bound “pilots” of the military drones. This medal would rank above a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. I am not saying that those people are not doing a professional job. I honor their service.
And Pam and Katherine, why not say wounded rather than injured?

What trial? DoD has been screwing around with this murderer for almost 4 years so they don’t offend the Islamofascists.

The FACT that this was an armed assault on the USA is NOT up to some court or tribunal to decide.

This line of “thinking” is total BS, and should be treated as such.

More on the way of making this trial of an Islamic terrorist a total sham.

The administration is coddling this guy for just that reason, he did a terrorist act and they hate to have a proper military trial for murdering scum like this militant murdering muslim American hating POS.

PO[tu]S Obama protecting POS terrorist.
