WASHINGTON — The Army announced Friday that it will award the Purple Heart to victims of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, after years of resistance.

Texas lawmakers welcomed news that the shooting spree, which left 13 people dead and more than 30 wounded, would no longer be classified as an act of “workplace violence,” given the shooter proclaimed himself a jihadi.

“This has been a long, hard fight. The victims of this attack have struggled, suffered and been abandoned by this administration. No more,” said Rep. John Carter, the Round Rock Republican whose district includes Fort Hood, the nation’s largest military installation.

“Today is a day of victory, and I am honored to have fought on their behalf.”

The decision, Carter said, would “provide the victims their due benefits” and “finally give closure to the families.”

Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was found guilty this month on 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder after opening fire Nov. 5, 2009, at Fort Hood’s Soldier Readiness Processing Center, where troops were getting medical checkups before deploying to Afghanistan.

Hasan, who was scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan a few weeks later, shouted “Allahu ­akbar!” meaning “God is great,” before targeting soldiers with a high-powered, high-capacity handgun he had fitted with laser sights. He was apprehended by military police officers after firing more than 200 shots.

Some firearms would be more useful, but a Purple Heart is better than nothing.

Maybe next time the bullets will bounce off of their Purple Hearts?

They'll get more benefits this way which had been denied to them and their families because it was declared "workplace violence".

So it makes a big difference to the survivors and families, I think.

I'm sure it does,but military members that are murdered by a traitor in their own unit shouldn't be getting a Purple Heart.

Next thing you know they will be handing them out to clerks and cooks that get hurt in a car accident while driving to work at the base/

The more they give out... the less special they are.

Exactly! There were designed to honor the military members who willing go into battle and put their lives at risk that get wounded or killed.

Now they want to give them out to everybody.

Not really. These were soldiers doing their medical SRP prior to deployment. They were unarmed and shot by a self proclaimed Jihadist at war with the USA.

Even REMFs in Vietnam got the PH for enemy indirect fire. We shouldn't confuse the PH with a valor award or the CIB for infantrymen.

The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action.

You may want to save your energy for what happened in 2002. An Airmen was awarded a Bronze Star for service as a ground crew member at Whiteman AFB in MO. The BSM is reserved for designated combat zones. However it was argued the crew serviced the B2 squadron flying from MO to drop bombs in Afghanistan and later in 2003 in Iraq. Have to check what became of that.

These people were killed or injured by one of their own.

I don't think so. He may have wore the uniform but embraced radical Islam and so a traitor.
