\"mike.huckabee\"<\/a>NBC-5 in Dallas reports that because of a legal technicality, Nidal Hasan \u2013 who \u201callegedly\u201d stood up in a Fort Hood cafeteria and began shooting, killing 13 people and wounding 32 others while shouting \u201cAllahu Akbar!\u201d \u2013 is still collecting a salary on the taxpayers\u2019 dime. The Military Code of Justice says his salary can\u2019t be suspended until he\u2019s found guilty. And his attorneys have dragged the trial out so long, over urgent issues like whether he has to shave his beard, that he\u2019s collected $278,000 since the shootings.
\nMeanwhile, many of the victims are barely scraping by, unable to work or feed their families, and fighting for medical benefits. That\u2019s because the government refuses to call this what it obviously was \u2013 a terrorist attack \u2013 and insanely classifies it as \u201cworkplace violence.\u201d So the victims aren\u2019t entitled to the benefits of military members wounded in combat. That\u2019s right: wounded soldiers are denied medical benefits while the man who \u2013 \u201callegedly\u201d \u2013 shot them is paid over a quarter million taxpayer dollars and counting. If anyone still thinks the Obama Administration\u2019s refusal to call terrorism by its proper name is inconsequential, try telling that to the Fort Hood shooting victims. The attack was terrorism. The government\u2019s reaction to it so far has been a \u201cman-caused disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
