Ft. Hood's Greater War
Townhall.com ^ | January 28, 2014 | Larry Provost

Posted on 01/28/2014 1:50:14 PM PST by Kaslin

Tonight is the President’s State of the Union Speech. Yet with the country at war there are heroes that will be forgotten in the name of political correctness.

Recently I wrote about the forgotten heroes of Ft. Hood Terrorist Attack, http://townhall.com/columnists/larryprovost/2014/01/11/bury-their-purple-hearts-at-ft-hood-n1773555/page/full One of those heroes, retired Army SGT Alonzo Lunsford will be in the gallery of the House of Representatives as a guest of Representative Roger Williams of Texas.

SGT Lunsford was shot by the Ft. Hood terrorist seven times, including once in the face. He was preparing to deploy in the war against radical Islamic terrorism but instead was shot by one of its minions at home. He lived, only after playing dead in blood. SGT Lunsford was forced to medically retire from the United States Army that he so loved and still lives with a bullet in his body. Sadly SGT Lunsford must live with something else; his government calls this terrorist attack, perpetuated on our soldiers, “workplace violence.”

The President likely will not recognize this hero, nor were SGT Lunsford or his comrades recognized in the 2010 State of the Union address right after the terrorist attack. These heroes stood radical Islam, literally, in the face yet the President will not stand up and call the threat we face, abroad and at home, for what it is. And our soldiers suffer for it.

The terrorist in the Ft. Hood Terrorist attack is on death row, and has himself acknowledged that this was a terrorist attack, yet the administration still calls this attack “workplace violence.” In doing so, the government is downplaying what happened to our volunteer heroes and denies them benefits that the heroes themselves humbly ask for.

Just as bad, such characterizations of terrorism as workplace violence can contribute to lulling people into not facing the warped ideology that declared war on us a long time ago. This war continues against us and has continued no matter how many sensitivity classes we send our soldiers to, apologies we make, or countries we withdraw from.

The President of a country at war with radical Islam is not willing to acknowledge the name of the ideology that Al Qaeda and other groups have embraced. Imagine fighting Hitler without acknowledging the radical ideology behind his regime.

This is what happens when many, if not most of, our national leaders have never served a day in the military.

This is what happens when ideology takes the place of common sense.

This is politics of the worst kind; political correctness taking precedence over the dignity and honor of the individual, especially those soldiers who fight for the God given freedom of their fellow citizens.

Meanwhile, the war against us continues…..

Excellent article.

Not only does our sorry excuse for a president and CinC insist this was workplace violence but now his lapdog AG Eric holder is saying our intelligence and law enforcement can’t use religion to profile terrorists to prevent future attacks.

It’s traitorous, in my view.

Great article but needs one correction. It is not “olitical correctness”. It is outright FRAUD & TREASON by BHO & Co.

SGT Lunsford will be shown on TV once (if it all) and the gay player with the worst lady will be shown at least 3 times.

Nadil Hasan was an Obama voter and transition team member. His action will NEVER be called TERRORISM by our treasonous president.

Treaon being defined as providing aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war.

Obama’s foreign policy is decidedly pro-Islamist, the enemy we fight in the international War on Terror (which he surrendered).

Imagine fighting Hitler without acknowledging the radical ideology behind his regime.

If I'm to understand Pacifica Radio, NPR, PBS, the WaPoo, and NYet Times it was right-wing extremism.
