Ft. Hood Attack Labeled "Workplace Violence" by Administration....

From Stars and Stripes, 10/18/2012. Despite the conclusion of a bi-partisan Congressional report and an FBI investigation concluding that the Ft. Hood attack was domestic terrorism, he administration has now classified the Ft. Hood shooting as an act of "workplace violence", not a terrorist attack. 

With this classification, "...the victims do not get combat-related special compensation that provides disability pay for medically retired service members." This also affects their ability to obtain physical therapy, and medical and psychological treatment relating to the attack, and prevents them from receiving the Purple Heart.To call this a travesty is an understatement of gargantuan proportions. Our service members deserve this support regardless of whether the enemy is foreign or domestic. Take a moment to contact your legislators in DC and let them know what YOU think about this.

And then pass this along.  If this doesn't make your blood boil, I don't know what else will.
