The White House Broke Its Promise to the Victims of the First Fort Hood Shooting. Will History Repeat Itself?

Ever since Nidal Hasan's rampage, survivors have struggled for medical care and benefits.

Just after last week's shooting rampage at Fort Hood, President Barack Obama made a simple promise to survivors: "We are going to do everything we can to make sure the community at Fort Hood has what it needs to deal with the current situation, but also any potential aftermath." For victims of the previous attack on Fort Hood in 2009, these words were a bitter reminder of the empty assurances they received from the Army and Obama administration officials, who pledged to take care of them and their families after the shooting.

I feel bad for the Fort Hood victims from both shootings. Not only did they get shot [literally], but then they got stabbed in the back [figuratively] by the Obama Administration. They mistook him as someone believable when they shouldn't believe a word out of any of their mouths, even if their tongues came notarized, after all they're Democrats.

I think Nidal Hasan was obviously a Jihadist and his attack should only be classified as a terrorist attack, yet the Obama administration has classified it as work place violence. Quite likely because they are trying to hide the facts about Hasan's Jihaddi activities while in the Military that they were aware of but did nothing about.


During the six years that Hasan worked as an intern and resident at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, colleagues and superiors were deeply concerned about his behavior and comments. Hasan was not married at the time and was described as socially isolated, stressed by his work with soldiers, and upset about their accounts of warfare. Two days before the shooting, which occurred less than a month before he was due to deploy to Afghanistan, Hasan gave away many of his belongings to a neighbor.

Prior to the shooting, Hasan had expressed critical views described by colleagues as "anti-American". An investigation conducted by the FBI concluded that his emails with the late Imam Anwar al-Awlaki were related to his authorized professional research and that he was not a threat. The FBI, Department of Defense and U.S. Senate all conducted investigations after the shootings. The Department of Defense classified the events as "workplace violence", pending prosecution of Hasan in a court-martial. The Senate released a report describing the mass shooting as "the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since September 11, 2001."

The guy was eMailing someone so dangerous Obama thought it appropriate to kill the American Citizen Anwar al-Awlaki without due process, yet Hasan's attack was classified as "workplace violence" and not a terrorist attack. How sick and disgusting is that? It just baffles me wondering how or why Obama would think he could depend on these same Military folks to jump to his defense should there ever come a time of civil insurrection in this country while he's still in office.

Fort Hood Shooter Says He's Going on 'Hunger Strike'
1 Apr 2017 | Nidal Hasan killed 13 people and injured 31 at Fort Hood, Texas in November 2009. He is on death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas


Writing from his Fort Leavenworth, Kansas cell on death row, Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan has declared he is going on a "99 pound hunger strike," according to a letter reviewed by Fox News. The former Army psychiatrist, who opened fire on unarmed fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, in November 2009, killed 13 people and injured 31 that day. Hasan was sentenced to death in 2013 and continues to declare himself an SoA, "soldier of Allah." Hasan stated in the handwritten letter that by going on a hunger strike, he will "reduce and then maintain a total body weight of 99 pounds" while protesting "America's hatred for [Shariah] Laws."


On March 27, Lt. Gen. Sean B. MacFarland, the commanding general at Fort Hood, issued a statement effectively saying Hasan will not be dismissed by the U.S. Army until he is executed. "In the case of Major Nidal M. Hasan (redacted) ... the sentence is approved and, except for that portion of the sentence pertaining to a Dismissal from the Service and being put to death, will be executed," he wrote. Hasan's civilian attorney John Galligan told Fox News they are looking at a "very lengthy appellate process -- initially via the military appellate courts ... then on to the Supreme Court and thereafter through the tangled web of federal courts."

Retired Staff Sgt, Shawn Manning, who was shot six times by Hasan, told Fox News senior executive producer Pamela Browne, "The fact that this guy who has no regard for human life still thinks he still has the right to make a statement is tragic." Nearly eight years after the attack, Manning is still mired in the military's appeal process to receive combat-related benefits for his injuries. Manning's next hearing is scheduled for April 11 at Fort Lewis, Wash. Manning and 41 of his fellow soldiers injured and killed at Fort Hood were finally awarded Purple Hearts in 2015.


Hasan's 2009 massacre finally ended when he was shot by civilian police officer Sgt. Kimberly Munley. Hasan, now partially paralyzed, is one of six inmates on military death row at Fort Leavenworth. Galligan maintains the trial was not fair. "If Major Hasan dies while the mandatory appellate process is pending, the findings and sentence will be set aside," Galligan said. "Millions of dollars were wasted on this show trial but as I said repeatedly, he did not receive a fair trial at Fort Hood."

Meanwhile the administration put up a feverorish fight for Hassan to get a sex change operation and be able to pee in the ladies room. Top notch!
