The survivors of Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s 2009 massacre at Ft. Hood are pushing for the killings to be called an act of terrorism. The Obama administration has labeled it “workplace violence” although Hasan’s ties to Islamic terrorist groups were apparent.
At issue is proper recognition for those in the military who suffered death and injury at Ft. Hood, which operated under military policies which put the personnel at unnecessary risk. The mis-labeling of this attack also has deprived survivors of benefits which would be normally accorded to military personnel injured in the line of duty.
