Fort Hood Colonel Facebook post: Time to move on from shooting?

Move on? Why because brass did?

Sure, move on so that no one has to be held accountable for allowing this "man" to be promoted instead of booted out before it happened. So that no one has to compensate the soldiers and families for what this "man" did to them.

So that no one will start asking questions about how many others this "man" betrayed when he was supposed to be taking care of their mental health issues.

Move on? Maybe if the families got justice that would be possible but since they are stuck where they are, Americans should never just allow the Army to move on!

That decision has prevented some of the victims from receiving thousands of dollars in medical and retirement benefits.

Munley and others want the Pentagon to reclassify the attack.

“It’s about getting the benefits that they deserve so that they can live the rest of their lives and be OK,” said Munley.

A top United States Army Colonel has angered some of the victims of the 2009 Fort Hood attack after he turned to social media criticizing an NBC 5 Investigates’ Freedom of Information Act request asking for documents related to the shooting.

In February, Col. Nathan Banks wrote on his personal Facebook page: “Let’s move on America, I did.”

Kim Munley is the former Fort Hood police officer who helped end the attack by firing at the gunman, Nidal Hasan.

In a recent interview with NBC 5 Investigates Munley said, “I think it’s insulting for anyone who represents or wears that uniform to ask anyone to forget about Nov. 5, 2009.”

Munly expressed that she and other victims have had a hard time moving on and she is disheartened by Banks’ comments.

The 2009 gunbattle with Hasan also left Munley wounded outside the building where 13 soldiers died and nearly three dozen others were injured.

Among the survivors was Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning, who was shot six times in the 2009 massacre and is still recovering.

“If the Army was interested in allowing us to "move on" they should think about finally declaring the shooting a terrorist attack and recognizing the ultimate sacrifice that so many made for their country that day," Manning said.
