I just looked at the picture again. For some unknown reason I have this urge to watch reruns of “The Honeymooners” with Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows.

It’s interesting, is it not? That Hasan was quite possibly driven mad by his failure to find within the US a sufficiently submissive woman. And was consequently laid low by a US woman that refused to submit.

Its called A Just Karmic Response, Lex. I shorten that to “Justice”.

I’m not going to take anything away from her. She ran to the sounds of guns and did her job. Her partner deserves just as much recognition.

The last cop that did anything noteworthy ended up having a beer with the President. Wonder if this will merit the same in his mind. Probably not, one shot up Muslim too many is one too many to keep calling attention to.

As Cybele, above, notes, Sgt Munley wounded our boy but was on the ground wounded when her male partner Sgt Todd hove on the scene and put him down with a ctr-mass shot and then cuffed him. In agreement with you here. Taking nothing away from the courage or professionalism of Sgt Munley, but the media immediately concentrated on the actions of the female, leaving the distinct impression for many hours that she was solely responsible for the entire takedown, much in the same way they hyped (actually made up out of whole cloth) the supposed dogged defense of her convoy with her M-16 by that Army female Iraqi POW supply clerk (Jessica Lynch– from W. Va.) when in fact she had not fired a shot. The Amazon warrior meme in the MSM is strong indeed–as is the PC Army’s
reflexive readiness to participate/aid & abet in the hype.

I don’t want to diminish her actions, but I wonder if Sergeant Munley would be getting as much media attention if she were a he. I somehow doubt it. If the responding officer were named Ken instead of Kim, you might read his name in a news report and that would be that. She was not a momma bear protecting her cubs. Munley’s job was to stop the threat and she did her job. Her gender is irrelevant.

Is the Army using civvie police these days? If so, what happened to the MPs, and why?

It is ironic that an Army Post would be a gun free zone.
