What follows is quite revealing, made all the more revealing in that ABC
News, normally not much more than an echo chamber for this administration,
is reporting it:
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."
There was no immediate comment from the White House about Munley's
allegations.
...
Munley, since laid off from her job with the base's civilian police
force, was shot three times as she and her partner, Sgt. Mark Todd,
confronted Hasan, who witnesses said had shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he opened
fire on soldiers being processed for deployment to Afghanistan.
As Munley lay wounded, Todd fired the five bullets credited with
bringing Hasan down.
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.
...
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."
Some of the victims "had to find civilian doctors to get proper medical
treatment" and the military has not assigned liaison officers to help them
coordinate their recovery, said the group's lawyer, Reed Rubinstein.
"There's a substantial number of very serious, crippling cases of post-
traumatic stress disorder exacerbated, frankly, by what the Army and the
Defense Department did in this case," said Rubinstein. "We have a couple of
cases in which the soldiers' command accused the soldiers of malingering,
and would say things to them that Fort Hood really wasn't so bad, it wasn't
combat."
If this isn't an indication of how deep America's problems are, problems
brought to us by a progressive ideology focused more on political
correctness and conservative leadership lacking the courage to confront the
idiocy, then I don't know what other measurement there might be to plumb the
depths.
It all sickens me. |
