First, Soldiers' Angels is gathering cards for the families of the fallen and the wounded. SOLDIERS' ANGELS STANDING BY FOR FT. HOOD-- Collecting cards and NEW stuffed animals for the families and children of the fallen/wounded heroes. Please send cards and stuffed animals/blankets/anything NEW that may brighten the life of a child to: Soldiers' Angels Warehouse 4408 PanAm Expressway San Antonio, TX 78218 WE WILL FOCUS on the HOLIDAY OUTREACH as a major push. Next, as the media tried to make PTSD an issue (across all networks), I called a few producers to let them know that Hasan had never served overseas. No PTSD. Also, the media tries for victim-hood on Hasan. Apparently, reports are that he was harassed for being muslim. I have sources that have stated that the Army investigated Hasan's claims that he was being targeted for his religion and found that either his reports were inaccurate or that he was faking the harassment. I have seen soldiers harass muslims (one of the best NCOs I had as a young cav scout platoon leader was Sergeant Hassan). I have also seen soldiers harass each other for being Italian and Irish and Jewish, etc. [as a soldier, I also put a stop to that nonsense] The point of that is that it is not an excuse for murder. More will be revealed. From where I stand, much of this looks like religion-inspired terror. We need to know who his spiritual advisors are (one account is that his chaplain was the same guy who counseled Hasan Akbar, the Army sergeant who killed his fellow soldiers). Last, many soldiers I have spoken with are deeply concerned about the President's response. The President spoke for minutes about the Tribal Conference before addressing the tragedy on Fort Hood. What was THAT about?
