Fort Hood shooting victim Staff Sergeant Shawn Manning tells Fox News<\/a> of his trials and tribulations with the military healthcare system to get treatment for his injuries resulting from the six bullet wounds that happened when Nidal Hasan blasted away at Fort Hood, six years ago;<\/p>\n

“I think part of the pushback is there’s still people that are reluctant to label the shooting as a terrorist attack,” Manning added. “Both within the Department of the Army, Defense Department and the government itself.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, Hasan, waiting for his fate on the Army’s death row has penned a 100-page Bernathian-style treatise on his crime, “justifying his extreme religious views and claiming his faith is inconsistent with American democracy”. I guess the significance of his oath to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” escapes the jihadist. But, I guess the point of the article is to juxtapose the irony of the victims trying to get recognition from a government for the wounds they endured in the war against terror while Hasan is making their case for them.<\/p>\n

Still using the acronym SOA, or soldier of Allah, Hasan wrote: “My Jihad on November 5, 2009 was in the defense of the Taliban in Afghanistan, who I viewed as imperfect Muslims trying to establish the perfect religion of All-Might God as supreme on the land against Americas attempt to impose a western type of democracy.”<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

In his writings, Hasan has left no doubt that the first American targeted for death by the CIA in 2011, Anwar al-Awlaki, was a mentor and spiritual guide.<\/p>\n

In August, Hasan pledged his loyalty to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi while asking to be “made a citizen of the Islamic State.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess the Obama Administration is loath to admit that the war followed our soldiers home from the war in the middle east because the BDS crowd was so staunchly opposed to a war waged by a Republican president. For that reason, the war continues and the troops are the ones who suffer, because a Nobel Prize winning President can’t unilaterally declare the end to a war and simply ignore it’s continuing effects.<\/p>\n
