“Manacled by multiculturalism, Lieutenant General Robert W. Cone, commander of III Corps at Fort Hood was careful to keep his grunts defenseless.”
As I write in my upcoming WND column, to be posted tonight,
“‘As a matter of practice, we don’t carry weapons here, this is our home,’ he bragged about the ‘no-guns’ policies on base. It remained for the victims at Fort Hood to wait for civilian police officers to rescue them from a lone, weapons-wielding man.
For 13 of the fragged men and women it was too late.”
A legend named Sergeant Kimberly Munley has been born. Everyone is slobbering over the fact that a woman, purportedly, took Hasan down.
I’m a wee bit skeptical about such fem fantasies. Remember that hoax the military perpetrated about some single woman soldier in Iraq who took on an Iraqi battalion?
Wikipedia is more cautious. Lo and behold, the online encyclopedia mentions an unmentionable—a man—who seemed to have done quite a bit to finish that dirty job:
“Sergeant Kimberly Munley, who had arrived on the scene within three minutes of receiving the report of an emergency at the center, encountered Hasan exiting the building in pursuit of a wounded soldier. Munley and Hasan exchanged shots. Munley was hit three times; twice through her left leg and once in her right wrist, knocking her to the ground.[19] In the meantime, civilian police officer Sergeant Mark Todd arrived and fired at Hasan. Todd said: ‘He was firing at people as they were trying to run and hide. Then he turned and fired a couple of rounds at me. I didn’t hear him say a word, he just turned and fired.'[20] Hasan was hit and felled by shots from Todd and Munley.[21][3] Todd approached the wounded shooter, kicked a pistol out of his hand, and placed him in handcuffs as Hasan fell unconscious.[22]”
Update: It’s confirmed (thanks, Jack). This was a repeat of the Jessica Lynch affair. How predictable. A man had Munley’s back. You know how useless the woman must have been for the New York Times not to ignore the story:
“The witness, who asked not to be identified, said Major Hasan wheeled on Sergeant Munley as she rounded the corner of a building and shot her, putting her on the ground. Then Major Hasan turned his back on her and started putting another magazine into his semiautomatic pistol.
It was at that moment that Senior Sgt. Mark Todd, a veteran police officer, rounded another corner of the building, found Major Hasan fumbling with his weapon and shot him.
How the authorities came to issue the original version of the story, which made Sergeant Munley a national hero for several days and obscured Sergeant Todd’s role, remains unclear.”
What a gentleman Todd is. Or, more likely, too scared to shatter the PC code of conduct and the nation’s fantasies. Via the Guardian:
“Todd said: ‘We were engaged in a gunfight, and then I neutralised him, or we neutralised him.'”
Oops, he almost took credit for his actions. No well-trained American man inculcated in PC would do that! In any event, it seems that Hasan dropped the lady weapons expert and Todd “neutralized” the Other Protected Species.
