Will Fort Hood Families ever get justice after massacre?

There is just no way to put it otherwise. First it was delaying the trial over the "shooter" wanting to have a beard. He said it was his religious right but didn't manage to explain why he didn't have to have one before the massacre. The families had to wait.

Now it is all about him once again and the DOD is saying that the Purple Heart for the wounded and murdered would "adversely affect the trial" so families have to wait again!
