Victims of the Nov. 2009 Ft. Hood shooting are being denied benefits commensurate with combat injuries because the Obama administration refuses to label the attack an act of terrorism. Instead, the shooting Maj. Nidal Hasan carried out after screaming "Allahu Akbar" it is still being labeled "workplace violence." The difference between labeling the incident "workplace violence" and "terrorism" is not only the rightful recognition 13 of our troops deserve for being killed in service to their country on Nov. 5, 2009, but also ongoing benefits that would help survivors pay for the physical therapy, and other medical and psychological treatments that might be necessary to a full recovery. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has openly stated that the shooting, which took place in his state, was an act of terrorism and that the president such recognize it as such. He said, "President Obama's refusal to call it an act of terror is a shining example of this administration's devotion to political correctness over the defense of our men and women in uniform."

Since when has any military person since Vietnam been denied complete medical treatment and physical therapy as a result of injuries incurred from their military service?
Especially since the start of the Iraq war?
Combat injuries give you priority medical care as well as other benefits and priorities that simply breaking an ankle because a co-worker stomped on it doesn’t.
Regardless, so, the military killed or injured on 9/11 were classified as combat-related causalities. . .why not the Ft Hood victims.
Why not?
The Messiah has no answer. . .other than to do so would be to admit WE were attacked on American soil, that terrorists attacked on American soil after he was in charge. Can’t have that happen, no-siree. This is especially true when we are talking about Libya.
It is all about The Messiah, not about the troops or the peace and security of the US.
By the same token, the fatalaties in Libya won't be getting any combat or hazardous duty benefits. If the mob was protesting a video and got out of hand, that's not terrorism.
Hasan continues his 24/7 care and receives his full $6000/month pay.
Who's making the claim that these victims are being denied full medical and psychological care?
Knew you would! Yes, he is all that, and the curse is commendable!....................................... FRegards

R is a whimp and will not stir those waters. Only because Billy Graham endorse him he got my vote. Only reason a lot of Evangelicals will vote for a known RINO.
it all depends on what the definition of “terrorism” is. If you simply define it as something else, then viola, no terrorist attacks on my watch. Obama defines terrorism as anything Republicans and Tea Partiers do and his mooslimb buddies are just common “criminals” that deserve constitutional rights and due process.
In their minds, the term “terrorist” is a relic of the past and too divisive to describe the multifaceted problem of radical islam.
