Very much related to the reaction by AMC Theaters, Cinemark, and others, in cancelling the North Korea-mocking movie The Interview -- there are family members of 14 dead soldiers from the 2009 shooting in Fort Hood, TX, as well as 32 who were injured, and many of them would like to see the killings to be classified as an act of terrorism. President Obama declared it an act of workplace violence. Here is Texas Senator Ted Cruz: “It wasn’t workplace violence,” Cruz said. “It was an act of terror against American heroes, and we need to speak the truth.” If recognized as a terrorist attack, the victims and their families would receive benefits such as life insurance, combat pay, tax breaks, and the Purple Heart. “It is abundantly clear that this was an act of radical Islamic terrorism,” Cruz said. “The only explanation for the administration’s persistent denial of that is politics.” The video ends with a short statement: “These heroes are only a presidential signature away from receiving the Purple Heart.” freebeacon/issues/ted-cruz-video-makes-compelling-case-for-awarding-purple-heart-to-fort-hood-terror-victims/
