A hero of the Fort Hood terrorist attack by Major Nidal Hasan that sat with Michele Obama in the State of the Union 3 years ago is now saying that Obama has betrayed her and the other victims of that terrorist att..........oops sorry it wasn't a terrorist attack by someone that was in contact with al Queda, that was screaming Allah Akbar! as he was slaughtering unarmed Americans, it was a "workplace incident" at least it's said to be so by the Obama administration.
Sorry honey you got used by Obama and his PR machine and then got tossed like a used tissue. I wonder who this years State of the Union dupes and tissues will be?
A hero of the Fort Hood terrorist attack by Major Nidal Hasan that sat with Michele Obama in the State of the Union 3 years ago is now saying that Obama has betrayed her and the other victims of that terrorist att..........oops sorry it wasn't a terrorist attack by someone that was in contact with al Queda, that was screaming Allah Akbar! as he was slaughtering unarmed Americans, it was a "workplace incident" at least it's said to be so by the Obama administration.
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."
Despite extensive evidence that Hasan was in communication with al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki prior to the attack, the military has denied the victims a Purple Heart and is treating the incident as "workplace violence" instead of "combat related" or terrorism. Al-Awlaki has since been killed in a U.S. drone attack in Yemen, in what was termed a major victory in the U.S. efforts against al Qaeda.
Munley and dozens of other victims have now filed a lawsuit against the military alleging the "workplace violence" designation means the Fort Hood victims are receiving lower priority access to medical care as veterans, and a loss of financial benefits available to those who injuries are classified as "combat related." ..............................
Secretary of the Army John McHugh told ABC News he was unaware of any specific complaints from the Fort Hood victims, even though he is a named defendant in the lawsuit filed last November which specifically details the plight of many of them.
"If a soldier feels ignored, then we need to know about it on a case by case basis," McHugh told ABC News. "It is not our intent to have two levels of care for people who are wounded by whatever means in uniform."
