Michelle Malkin has the names of those murdered, which included one soldier’s unborn baby:

1. LTC Juanita Warman, 55, Havre de Grace, Md.
   
2. MAJ Libardo Caraveo, 52, Woodbridge, Va.
   
3. CPT John P. Gaffaney, 54, San Diego, Calif.
   
4. CPT Russell Seager, 41, Racine, Wis.
   
5. SSG Justin Decrow, 32, Plymouth, Ind.
   
6. SGT Amy Krueger, 29, Kiel, Wis.
   
7. SPC Jason Hunt, 22, Tillman, Okla.
   
8. SPC Frederick Greene, 29, Mountain City, Tenn.
   
9. PFC Aaron Nemelka, 19, West Jordan, Utah
   
10. PFC Michael Pearson, 22, Bolingbrook, Ill.
    
11. PFC Kham Xiong, 23, St. Paul, Minn.
    
12. PVT Francheska Velez, 21, Chicago, Ill. and her unborn baby
    
13. Michael G. Cahill, Cameron, Texas [civilian]
    

 

It still breaks my heart thinking of Pvt. Velez especially, who cried out for her baby as she lay dying.

 

How can there be shame on someone who is shameless?

 

If there was ever a time for the Commander-in-Chief to change the designation away from the idiotic “workplace violence” tag to something which would allow the award of Purple Hearts to the victims of Nidal Hasan’s deliberate attack on American soldiers, Veterans’ Day would be that time.

I do not understand why he does not; it isn’t as though doing so could somehow inflame passions of the Muslims around the world against the United States more; we are at war against the Islamists, and are actively killing them in Afghanistan, directly, through combat, and in Pakistan via the occasional drone attack against al Qaeda leaders. We sent SEAL Team 6 into Abbottabad, Pakistan, to eliminate Osama bin Laden, and we used unmanned drones in Yemen to kill Anwar al-Awlaki and then his son,Abdulrahman al-Awlaqi, though the actual target at that time was (supposedly) Ibrahim al-Banna
