Tells Families To Keep Silent



via zip


Autumn Manning, wife of Army Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning who was wounded in the Ft. Hood terror attack, is speaking out on Twitter. Manning claims that the Department of Defense has “slapped victims of violence with gag orders” and is preventing them to discuss denial of benefits and other developments in the wake of the attack.



The attack was famously classified as “workplace violence” and as of such, wounded have been denied combat benefits.

Why would the DOD gag families, especially those who aren’t serving thus not obligated to comply?

Autumn later updated the information, clarifying that families had been told to “keep silent”:


Dana Loesch ✔ @DLoesch

DOD Slaps “Gag Order” On Fort Hood Victims, Tells Families To Keep Silent | Weasel Zippers

Stay classy America. I'm sure barry will help the families post haste.

It was only 'workplace violence' anyway. What's the big deal?

Lets be serious these are military people in a military situation and I would expect
the government to enact silence for the time being. Face it how many other of the
Muslim folks are in American Uniforms and can the other service people trust them?
I wouldn't think so.

First off, why the fukk is a Muslim in the military anyhow?? Didn't Muhammad Ali is one of the most famous boxers of all time convert to Islam to evade the draft.. after all, Islam is religion of peace, didn't you know that??

By your logic about the only ones who should be in the military are atheists, and maybe a few Jews and Sikhs because Jesus taught love peace and forgiveness, not the violence so many of his "followers" have indulged in over the centuries...

You want to use Ali as an example, well Ted Nugent crapped his pants in the draft office to avoid the draft too. Does this mean you and all the Republican spin doctors will disavow him and his brand of "patriotism" too?

Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists and everyone else have as much right to serve in the US military as Christians do: its a right enshrined in their constitution.

I agree. We should re-establish religious, racial, and sex discrimination in the military because "they" can't be trusted.

I mean, c'mon, how can you trust the 54th Massachusetts? The 10th Negro Cavalry? The Tuskeegee Airmen? The 442d Regimental Combat Team? The 12th Armored Division?

Military lawyer insists Hasan is seeking death sentence - The Washington Post

At the opening of his court-martial Tuesday, Hasan, who worked at Walter Reed Army Medical Center from 2003 to 2006, admitted responsibility for the attacks. “The evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter,” he said.

Hasan said he carried out the shootings, which prosecutors said targeted uniformed personnel and spared civilians, because he believed he was on the wrong side of a war against Islam.

The gag order is in place, until after the "verdict is reached". They want to ensure he gets a "fair trial" so that there is no room for any appeal. I can dig that but I know how frustrating it must be for the families. He can spew his venom all he wants, and no one can respond. That must be awful. But they will (hopefully) get their due after the trial has been completed, at least on Fox News. The other media outlets will likely not give them the opportunity to vent. I'm just sayin....

JMHO

Also, the fact that this has been described as a "work place violence" is absolutely despicable. That needs to be changed in light of his own testimony!

The Military classifies this as "Workplace Violence" because the Commander in Chief has designated it as that.

The President of the United States IS the Commander in Chief of ALL military personnel. So long as his orders do not violate the law, or order the military to violate the law, they MUST be obeyed.

If he were to order that all soldiers were to work in thongs, that order would have to be obeyed. If he ordered the military to kill all Muslims, that order would NOT be obeyed, as it would violate both International and US law.

Interestingly enough, there was no 'domestic Muslim rage' after the first invasion of Iraq in 1990- 1991.
the second invasion was rather pointless, even more so now that shale oil is leaving the world awash.

Of course civilians must comply with military demands. The economic health of America is paramount under constitutional property doctrines and all Americans benefit from the Military Industrial Complex. Soldiers and their families can be replaced. The institutional memories and assets of the "MIC" are irreplaceable. They are not to be trifled with. The safety, security and well being of true Americans depends on it.
