Define Terrorism

It’s only terrorism if that suits the government’s purposes.

In the years since Maj. Nidal Hasan opened fire in a crowded Fort Hood medical center, killing 13 people and wounding another 32, victims have struggled to get medical care and financial benefits. This is largely because of how the incident has been labeled. Although Hasan is an avowed jihadist with ties to Al Qaeda, the Pentagon considers the attack to be workplace violence rather than terrorism or combat. Thus victims aren't eligible for many benefits and honors available to soldiers wounded or killed in action.

In 2012, nearly 150 Fort Hood victims and their family members filed suit against the Department of Defense, seeking compensation for their suffering and lost benefits. But the case has bogged down, and the Senate has balked at passing legislation that would give victims of the 2009 shooting the same benefits as soldiers killed or wounded in combat or terrorism attacks.

The survivors asked by letter to have ten minutes with President Obama when he went to the latest Ft. Hood photo op. They didn’t receive an answer until the day after – a rejection of their request, of course, with no reason offered. Basically, it said, thanks for your service, the Obamas care about you.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
