The survivors of the attack, and the families of those who died, believe the government has turned its back on the men and women who fought to protect it. Many of the survivors have received treatment for their injuries, the physical and mental wounds left behind by Hasan's gunfire.
For the survivors, the bigger deal than what they have received since Hasan's attack, is what they have not received. There are additional disability payments and retirement benefits made available for soldiers hurt in combat-related incidents. Benefits such as Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC), which is a monthly payment to retirees who have a "combat related" disability. Severance pay packages are more lucrative for soldiers who suffer combat-related injuries.
This is a travesty of justice.
