She criticized the Obama administration for failing to identify the threat as radical Islam.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Talk about an understatement. I guess we could call the two wars we&#8217;ve been involved in over the last ten years as workplace violence, too. <\/p>\n<p>If Congress wants to do something about protecting soldiers, they should let those guys carry their weapons, their personal weapons, on base. As it stands now they can&#8217;t and that makes them a target between their homes and their work&#8230;a target that can&#8217;t fight back. They&#8217;ve just returned from an assignment during which they carried loaded weapons to protct themsleves and now that they&#8217;re home, they can&#8217;t defend themselves and their own families? Where&#8217;s the common sense in that?<\/p>\n<p>But that workplace violence call by the Obama Administration, is total horseshit, just so they don&#8217;t have to admit that there is indeed a terrorist threat in this country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Old Trooper sends a link to a Fox News article which reports that wishy-washy Susan Collins &hellip; <a title=\"DoD: The terrorist act at Fort Hood was &#8220;workplace violence&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=27838\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">DoD: The terrorist act at Fort Hood was &#8220;workplace violence&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27838\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
