About Damn Time
Coach is Right ^ | April 18, 2015 | Jim Emerson, staff writer

Secretary of the Army, John McHugh, has ordered that “all possible benefits,” be awarded to the families of those murdered by Muslim terrorist Nidal Hassan in the 2009 Fort Hood killings. This comes on the heels of last weeks’ Purple Heart award ceremonies for the Ft. Hood victims of Hassan; award presentations delayed 5 years thanks to the decision of Barack Hussein Obama to mask the Islamic terror murders committed by a fellow Muslim by declaring them “work place violence.” This despicable decision rendered family members ineligible for military benefits and the fallen unable to be awarded the Purple Heart.

It took an act of congress to expand the criteria of eligibility in order that Hassan’s victims could receive the medal and the shooting could be declared an act of terrorism. This “necessary act of Congress” is of course the cover story meant to deliver jihad apologist and sympathizer Obama from his disgraceful decision to value the reputation of a Muslim terrorist over the lives of service members and the promise he made to Ft. Hood hero, former police sergeant Kimberly Munley, that the victims would be “well taken care of.”

It was more than five years until the 47 victims of Hassan were awarded a Purple Heart or its civilian counterpart, a Defense of Freedom Medal. The ceremony was years in the making but the medals were initially awarded without the additional benefits that accompany the Purple Heart. It has been suggested that Secretary of the Army McHugh “changed his mind” and at last decided to provide benefits to victim families, but obviously that “change” was ordered by Barack Obama who had been embarrassed enough by the story in spite of media attempts to cover up for him as usual.

Five years is pretty darn fast in cases like this. It should have happened the same week, but the families will get back pay as well. It should all come directly out of Obama’s and Congress’s pay!

If not Obola's, at least Hassan's. I don't know if he's still getting paid, but I know he was getting paid while he was awaiting trial.

I wonder if he got a Purple Heart? Wasn't he wounded in the attack?

Typical of the Obama administration where everything is politicized.
