I was just reading about the .mil stance on awarding the Purple Heart to the victims of the Fort Hood Shootings. Why isn't this part of the gun debate ever brought up? I am not trying to be a smart ass here. I am asking for serious thoughts on this. Aurora, Sandy Hook and other are the forefront of the debate. Since this is not a front line battle, should this shooting be held in the same regards as other mass shootings in this country? Why is this terrible crime different just because it was on an Army base? What kind of can of worms would that open up?
