Political Correctness: The Army has announced that as a result of Congress' making victims of attacks by foreign terrorist acts eligible, the Fort Hood victims will get Purple Hearts, and civilians will get Defense of Freedom medals.
That language broadened the definition of an attack on eligible victims to include an assault by "a foreign terrorist organization." The definition includes attacks by a perpetrator or perpetrators in contact with a foreign terrorist organization or "inspired or motivated by a foreign terrorist organization" prior to the attack.
The Nov. 5, 2009, attack on Fort Hood by Maj. Nidal Hasan, in which he killed 13 and wounded 32 while shouting "Allahu Akbar!," fits the new eligibility requirements. Hasan was known to have been in contact before the attack with American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, a senior leader in al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), and left a paper trail of support for and inspiration by Awlaki and AQAP.

FORT HOOD PURPLE HEART PING
The only apology that would mean anything is he were to reverse every executive order he ever issued — and then RESIGN
I would not want that POS anywhere near this.

“”I would not want that POS anywhere near this.””
When his handlers hear of the objection to him handing the Purple Hearts out, they’ll be sure to advise him to do it just to tick everyone off... I swear that’s the only reason all the stupid things that are done in the WH come about. IN YOUR FACE....deal with it, pikers! They DO have transparency!!!
Have a real vet, one with the same distinction, present the Medals.
Rep. Sam Johnson of Texas is a good choice. Look him up.
Weren’t they just “some folks” in a workplace incident?

Recipients should call in sick. Receiving anything from the lyin’ king is an insult to service members. Regardless if they deserve it. Which I’m not sure how I feel about it. Wasn’t/isn’t the intent for combat zones? I know the asshat was yelling allah snack bar at the time but......... I don’t know. Do we give a special civilian equivalent of the Medal of Honor the the guard that first engaged the asshat?
Instead of dealing with that mosque, our government went to Afghanistan and wasted a trillion dollars.
Afghanistan is still a mess, and that Virginia mosque... is still open for business.
Obama should apologize but he should NOT be allowed to be the presenter. That would add insult to injury.
