Op-ed:
This enemy brought the battlefield to our shores
This enemy brought the battlefield to our shores

Shame on them for who gives a damn about Hassan's rights...how about the rights of his victims, both dead and alive.
The Army claims that by awarding Purple Hearts to those wounded, and posthumously to those murdered, would be a declaration that Nadal Hasan is a terrorist.
Guess what...he is!
According to Army Regulation 600-8-22 this is among the conditions for which the Purple Heart is awarded: "The Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the President of the United States and per 10 USC 1131, effective 19 May 1998, is limited to members of the Armed Forces of the United States who, while serving under component authority in any capacity with one of the U.S. Armed Services after 5 April 1917, has been wounded or killed, or who has died or may hereafter die after being wounded.”
Simply, the Purple Heart is given to any military member who is wounded or killed in ANY action against an enemy of the United States, and the indisputable fact is and always will be that Nidal Hassan was and is a terrorist...an enemy combatant...an enemy of the United States...because remember, he kept shouting 'allahu akbar' (the correct spelling)* as he went on his murderous rampage.
'allahu akbar'...the fighting words of the enemy.
And herein lies the conundrum that does NOT have to be for what Nidal Hassan did was clearly a terrorist attack NOT workplace violence like Barack HUSSEIN Obama and his minions claim, and as such meets the criteria for issuing the victims their long overdue Purple Hearts.
Fort Hood is an officially designated and operational US military base NOT a place considered 'a civilian workplace' even though there are always some civilians working on a military base. And very critical to the point that this was NOT civilian workplace violence is that Hasan passed up several opportunities to shoot civilian employees, targeting and killing ONLY soldiers in uniform...soldiers preparing for deployment to Afghanistan (soldiers who Hassan saw as the enemy of his brethren)... unarmed soldiers who were not allowed to carry personal firearms on the base due to military policy...military policy NOT civilian workplace policy.
Workplace violence refers to violence that originates from civilian employees or civilian employers and threatens civilian employers and civilian employees with physical assault, threatening behavior, or verbal abuse occurring in a civilian work setting NOT on a US military base.
A terrorist attack is a surprise without warning attack involving the deliberate calculated use of violence against civilians or others (in this case military personnel NOT currently engaged in battle against anyone) in the hope of attaining political, religious, or ideological goals.
And this fits Nasal Hassan's attack to a tee for his shouting 'allahu akbar' and targeting ONLY military personnel crossed the line into terrorism as 'allah akbar' is the calling card of ALL terrorists. 'allahu akbar' means "God is great" and muslims say those words when starting a prayer, when they are in danger, making a huge effort, or fighting. The muslims believe that no matter what a person does, whether there is success or failure, victory or defeat, God (allah) is above all that and his (allah's) glory is NOT tarnished NO matter what vile, perverted, or murderous act they do in his name.
A political ideology based on religious fanaticism...the basis of all terrorist acts...the basis of the murderous act by Nidal Hassan.
Nidal Hassan was indeed a terrorist, make NO mistake about it, as e-mail communications between Hasan and the Yemen-based cleric Anwar al-Awalaki, who at that time was being monitored by the National Security Agency (NSA) as a security threat because he was a known Al Qaeda terrorist commander (he has since been killed), was NOT someone who communicated with ordinary folks. People of this sort communicate ONLY with those who share their so-called holy mission of jihad.
Even the Bipartisan Policy Center released a report called 'Assessing the Terrorist Threat,' and listed the Fort Hood shooting as a terrorist attack, but NOT Obama, because if he acknowledged the Fort Hood shooting as an act of terror, then Nidal Hassan indeed becomes an enemy combatant, and that would throw a wrench into his constant bloviations that terror in general is 'on the run'...a stance he stands by even after the slaughter at Benghazi and his subsequent cover-up.
So while Army policy states that "US military personnel are organized, trained and equipped to combat foreign, not domestic, forces or threats...To expand the Purple Heart award criteria to include domestic criminal acts or domestic terror attacks would be a dramatic departure from the traditional Purple Heart award criteria" the bottom line is that it would NOT for while Nidal Hassan was a US Army Major his allegiances were to foreign governments...to enemies of the United States...and that makes the Fort Hood shooting victims in line with Army policy and thus able to receive the Purple Heart.
So I hope the right thing is done for the victims, and that the US Army stops catering to those out to kill us and stops catering to those like Barack HUSSEIN Obama who stands by them...for these people were victims of war...victims of the War on Terror...and Nidal Hassan was one of their operatives...an enemy combatant against everything our country stands for and everything 'We the People' hold dear.
* I NEVER capitalize anything to do with islam because to do so would show respect for and give credence to islam, muslims, and their made-up deity 'allah' and I do neither.
