Five of the 13 victims were fellow mental health professionals from three units of the army's Combat Stress Control Detachment, it was disclosed yesterday.
I have heard no one say he knew any of these people. Ft Hood has three mental health facilities. Even these 5 may have not known this monster. It has been the other psychiatrists at Walter Reed that have been vocal about Hasan, after the massacre, when he was at Walter Reed before he was transferred to Ft. Hood. He came to Ft Hood this year.
The Army Commander said at the last PC that he had not learned when Hasan was to have been deployed. I believe no units are being deployed until the first of the year. Being deployed or not had nothing to do with this, imo.
His dead victims run the gambit from 19 years old to 62 years old and so does their professional classifications. He did not discriminate, he tried to kill as many as he saw before he was brought down. These soldiers all had one thing in common, they were all United States Army except one who was a medical assistant and the only civilian.
Now none of this has anything to do with the soldiers who were massacred by a terrorist and whether they should receive the purple heart. EACH AND EVERYONE of them deserves this honor. They paid with their own blood. They represent America and freedom. They are no different than our other fallen heroes who are blown up by a suicide bomber. Terrorism is an act of war imo and it is those terrorists like Hasan that our fine men and women fight against every single day.
The Army wasn't the one investigating Hasan. It was the terrorist investigative team of the CIA. They never let the government or the Army know anything about Hasan and his ties to extremists. No one ever filed a complaint against him in the Army.
No one told anyone anything that was in the Army with him until it was already done.
I totally agree that political correctness is a bunch of BS. But it is the BS that has been pushed on America ever since 911 and our government still pushes it today.
I just don't understand your stance or logic that these unarmed soldiers who were massacred by an Islamic terrorist shouldn't be given the purple heart? What makes them undeserving of such a
medal?
