StumbleLETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Fort Hood officer does public, her profession proud
Monday, March 15, 2010 | 2:01 a.m.
Recently, I had the distinct honor of personally meeting Fort Hood (Texas) civilian police Sgt. Kim Munley, the person who exchanged gunfire with Fort Hood terrorist Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan and ended the massacre that left 13 soldiers dead. (She was the guest of honor at an event a week ago in Las Vegas sponsored by Citizen Outreach.)
Sgt. Munley, who was wounded in the arm and leg during the November incident, exemplifies the finest examples of courage and intrepidity in the most dire of situations.
Hopefully, she will make a full recovery from her wounds.

Three words to remember Sgt Munley. SHOOT TO KILL.
It might save your life in the future. Now we have to try this pimple on the ass of society. If you had killed him, no trial.
Kudo's to Sgt. Munley for her bravery and service to the military community and her country on that day. I question, however, why it is that the petit, white female Sgt. Munley is getting all of the media attention when her superior Sgt (and he has been mentioned so few times that no one remembers his name) does not.
He was present at the scene with Sgt. Munley and he too acted heroically. He was wounded as he returned fire and he also struck Major Hasan with rounds from his sidearm. I suppose it is because he is large, black and male and all of us guys are supposed to do what he did without fanfare. Perhaps he just doesn't want all the attention, I don't know. Well, for one, my hat is off to him also.
And as for killing the turd as the previous poster suggested, al-Qaida does not need another martyr, and holding him in solitary confinement for the rest of his miserable life would serve him right. Of course, if they do wind up giving him the needle, I wouldn't cry a whole lot.
Exactly right. Lets all pray for the needle.
