Outrage: DoD’s final report classifies
Fort Hood jihad as “workplace violence”
| WASHINGTON, Aug. 20, 2010 – Pentagon officials today released
the Defense Department’s final review of recommendations issued by
an independent panel in the wake of the Nov. 5, 2009, shooting spree
on Fort Hood, Texas. Among the department’s top priorities, as outlined in the review, are boosting on-base emergency response capabilities, improving law enforcement and force protection information sharing with partner agencies, and integrating force protection policy, a Defense Department news release said. In a memorandum signed Aug. 18, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said he carefully considered the panel’s recommendations — detailed in the report titled, “Protecting the Force: Lessons Learned from Fort Hood” — and is directing the department to take “appropriate action” to address the initiatives detailed in the follow-on review. * * * * * Nothing to do with islam or jihad or terrorism or any of that stuff, oh no... The poor guy just snapped from the stress, you know? It could happen to anyone. Supervisors should have noticed and given him some time off. Anybody could go postal like that. Solution: send everyone to a mandatory class on workplace violence and document it in their permanent record. Go read about it, Now!
