After reading this: post about how Nidal Hasan's money went to 'charity' and therefore there is nothing for his victims to claim in a lawsuit, my mouth literally fell open.
After all this time, the man has no cash? My Army son gets his pay direct deposited. I was under the impression that all military pay is done that way. But this man had no bank account, and therefore was given paper checks?
And his lawyer says that he doesn't have to prove that the money went to charity?
OOOOkay... I bet it went to Al Qaeda. Or Al Jazeera. Or the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). It had likely been going there even before he committed a cowardly terrorist act at Ft. Hood, since he had no furniture in his apartment at the time that the crime was committed. We had a US solider who gave his paychecks to enemies of this country and then attacked US soldiers on a US military base on US soil.
Yet what he did wasn't terror, not according to the current administration. It was "workplace violence", and therefore those he killed or wounded were no eligible for benefits they would have gotten had it been declared an act of terror.
This is a travesty. Even Hasan admitted that he had committed his crime to protect Islam, yet those people impacted by his actions can't get any help from a government that refuses to address acts of terror.
I won't even mention the insanity that US soldiers aren't allowed to carry weapons while ON a military base. Okay, maybe I will. Thanks to President Bill Clinton, soliders aren't to be trusted with loaded weapons, even on bases.
We all need to contact our representatives and demand that things change: that those injured by Hasan receive that which they are entitled to; to find out where Hasan sent that money and recoup it; and that our military be trusted again to do what they are trained to do: protect our country.
