Obama Admin Refused to Acknowledge the Fort Hood Shooting as an Islamic Terrorist Attack

One of the worst things about the Fort Hood shooting was how the Obama Admin refused to acknowledge it for what it was: an Islamic terrorist attack against unarmed American soldiers on a U.S. base. This prevented the families from getting the compensation they were entitled to by law & deceived the entire country. I was a student at the FBI Citizens Academy years ago where they laid out the details of the attack. I pointed out that according to the FBI’s own definition of terrorism, Fort Hood was a terrorist attack & they all agreed. So I asked why the FBI was not challenging Pres Obama on this, leaving the families to suffer & the American people to languish in deceit. They asked me to leave the room for a private conversation with the Special Agent in Charge. This os what usually happens with me.

Amazing man- SSG Alonzo Lundsford shot 7 times- one of which was to the head (that is now public knowledge) Read that again shot point blank 7 times by that man. I was a new doctor rotating on the surgery service on that day. At the purple heart ceremony he talked about struggling with not being about to stop it...I was like, " you are like a wall of power...you stopped 7 bullets, who else could have done that?" I often wondered how many were saved because it took so many bullets to take down SSG Lundsford.
