Kin call Ft. Hood attack terrorism

FORT HOOD, Texas — Nearly three years after the shooting rampage at Fort Hood, many of those affected are urging the government to declare it a terrorist attack, saying wounded soldiers and victims’ relatives otherwise won’t receive the same benefits as those in a combat zone.

About 160 people, including relatives of the 13 people killed at the Texas Army post and some of the more than two dozen wounded and their families, released a video Thursday expressing their frustration.

Of course it's a terrorist attack, this administration won't call it that because they don't want that on their record.........it's all about me you know...

The Obama administration refuses to call ANY of the terrorist attacks on his watch 'terrorist attacks'.  NOT ONE!  Outrageous political stunt by itself but it also denies the victim's families the proper assistance!!!!!!  It is obscene!  Obama is a jerk on so many levels...
