Is the total lack of response telling me something about my friends across the border. If it were your life she saved you'd certainly have something to say.

I agree with you.....but to many on here are making excuses and blaming everyone else for what Hasan did...seems that people are more interested in denying the reasons for what he did and trying to place the blame on the Military eventually they will somehow blame Bush for what the Terrorist shooter in Ft Hood did..

..I am glad that Hasan is still alive he doesn't deserve to die thinking he will go to Heaven and get his virgins....

Sgt Munley is a Hero.....there is no doubt about that.....

I understand that a man who allegedly posted on extremist websites who made Anti American Anti War statements publicly, who also said that muslims should attack the aggressors(Americans) who Jumped on a table while in the process of killing Americans yelling "Allahu Akbar"......Killed 13 Americans and wounded 30 more
There was no ridicule in my post......don't Muslims believe if they die in Jihad they go to Heaven and are rewarded with Virgins?
“We have created mates for them and made them virgins, matched in age, for the companions of the right hand.” (56:35-38)
“‘The smallest reward [each] for the people of Heaven is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine and ruby, as wide as the distance from [Damascus] to [Yemen].’”
"Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward"
"Fight in the cause of Allah, those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loves not transgressors. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; . . . And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression"

I disagree. you and other posters are making it a gray issue ...it is black and white....you all want to muddy the waters and place blame everywhere except where it belongs....Hasan did what he did he is responsible doesnt matter what he has gone through or whatever,,,,,He did it...No excuses......was it Jihad? we shall find out eventually......

Sgt Munley is a Hero.....there is no doubt about that.....

There are already several other threads addressing this topic.

...another point I would like to raise about this is that Kimberley herself said she remembers firing "two" shots. She has also stated that she "thought" she had hit the shooter. She also had a partner with her who also fired shots at the shooter, so both of the officers could have been responsible for bringing down the perpetrator. Perhaps we should hail both as heros, not just Kimberley. Seems her partner has been forgotten in all this.

According to Chuck Medley, civilian director of police and firefighters at a base that houses more than 50,000 soldiers and their families, the first 911 call came to dispatchers at 1:23 p.m. A radio call and computerized alert went out to Kimberly Munley, 35, a civilian policewoman who was having her cruiser serviced by mechanics nearby. Within four minutes, Medley and Grimsley said, the female officer had exchanged gun blasts with Hasan, saving the life of at least one soldier but getting seriously wounded herself.

"By her engaging (Hasan)," Medley said, "he turned away from him and began engaging her" — a decision the deputy commander of III Corps believes was "critical" to saving the soldier and possibly many others.

According to Medley, Munley had peeked around a small building, realized that the "situation was critical" and "fired at the suspect," missing the suspected gunman but forcing him to stop, pivot and fire at her "several times."

"Then he began to charge her, and she continued to engage him," said Medley.

Hasan and Munley stood at very close range, shooting at each other. Medley said Hasan's shots struck the officer in the hand and wrist. She fell back, Medley said, "and she continued to engage him" from the ground.

From a nearby knoll, civilian policeman Mark Todd rushed to her rescue and fired at Hasan. While investigators still haven't said which gun fired the bullets that wounded Hasan, both Medley and Grimsley said the alleged gunman went down with "a significant number of wounds."
