Fort Hood Hero Says President Obama
Posted: Feb 13, 2013
Three years after the White House arranged a hero's welcome at the State of the Union address for the Fort Hood police sergeant and her partner who stopped the deadly shooting there, Kimberly Munley says President Obama broke the promise he made to her that the victims would be well taken care of. "Betrayed is a good word," former Sgt. Munley told ABC News in a tearful interview to be broadcast tonight on "World News with Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline." "Not to the least little bit have the victims been taken care of," she said. "In fact they've been neglected." There was no immediate comment from the White House about Munley's allegations. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/fort-hood-hero-obama-betrayed-victims/story?id=18465024;
They are being taken care of - by the VA
[ In Reply To ..]"Survivors of the incident at Fort Hood are eligible for the same medical benefits as all servicemembers," said Little. "The Department of Defense is also committed to the integrity of the ongoing court martial proceedings of Major Nidal Hasan and for that reason will not at this time further characterize the incident."
I'm not sure what more they want. If it is characterized after the trial as being combat, they'd be eligible then for additional compensation. At the moment, it's a workplace incident, so their post-service benefits are different than they would be if it was combat-related.
Also, OP, please be aware that the previous GOP admin, - despite its hypocritical noise about
[ In Reply To ..]"our heroes" betrayed them by cutting back care and effectively abandoning all of them it could after they were no longer available to be used. We have two close friends, career combat soldiers, and their stories are horrifying. Once you're designated as leaving the service, you're turned over to specialists and attorneys whose job it is to hustle you out with as little expense to the military, now or in future, as possible. The military can match any corporation for reinterpreting the fine print, producing new fine print you never saw and can't understand, releasing soldiers just before a promotion goes into effect, producing reasons to block promotions, etc. The switching and cheating they're famous for when enlisting kids in the Bush administration was institutionalized to its max and continues right up to the bitter end for "our heroes."
One of our career soldier friends, a middle-aged sergeant major, nearly got tossed out of the VA hospital where he was receiving treatment for a wound from Afghanistan for practically making an avocation of advising the younger guys around him not to sign the papers being pushed at them, not to agree to anything, not to be pushed out of the service while they were still unwell, that in effect (my words) that war was over, but now they had a new one to fight.
This is the attitude and system President Obama inherited from the party that used to style itself as the patriotic one. Whatever happened to all their expressions of patriotism, BTW? You never hear them from pubs any more. Did the hypocrisy become too heavy for even them to ignore?
She's qualified to comment - - she was there
[ In Reply To ..]and heard his "promise."
And we all know his promises are lies... - me
[ In Reply To ..]Remember the wife of the engineer who interviewed with Obama when her hub couldn't get a job cos of the foreign workers filling the slots - he PERSONALLY wanted to see his resume and help - yeah, that was last summer or thereabouts. This man is beyond anyone's wildest dreams -

Judge Rules Fort Hood Jihadist Aug 22, 2012
I have to admit, the judge's reasoning makes sense: "Forced shaving is not a novel concept in the military,’’ military attorneys said in the judge’s response filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. ‘‘Army regulations expressly authorize nonconsensual haircutting and face-shaving for recalcitrant incarcerated soldiers. … If the judge has authority to bind and gag a disruptive accused (soldier), then certainly he has authority to forcibly shave (Hasan).’’ ...
Fort Hood Heroes Finally Get RecognitionApr 10, 2015
Much to the dismay of the Muslim in the WH, the Fort Hood terrorist attack committed by a Muslim is finally acknowledged for what it was: A terrorist act, NOT workplace violence. (Can you even believe we ever had to hear the words 'workplace violence' in this situation?) And the heroes are FINALLY being acknowledged with Purple Hearts, again to the dismay of You Know Who! That, to me, is one of the most despicable acts I've seen in this WH. ...

This is another thing I find unbelievably disgusting...these soldiers were wounded and killed by a fellow soldier who admittedly was in contact with Anwar al-Awlaki.

Shawn Manning was shot six times by Maj. Nidal Hasan while he was serving on-duty at Ft. Hood in Temple, Texas, in what becam ...

I hope this wasn’t posted before. If it was, sorry. I don’t like to duplicate other posts. Democrats seized on the Labor Department’s report Friday that the unemployment rate in September fell to 7.8 percent, dropping below 8 percent for the first time in 44 months. So surprising was the decline that it set off speculation among some conservatives about a cooked-booked October surprise. That’s not remotely likely as playing with the numbers to influence the election wou ...

I guess I don't get the double standard there. We give aid to Brazil for drilling and yet Obama seems ...
