going to be some more fighting ahead of us with the army at least in regards to benefits and getting them the class star injuries as combat related. you know, this is at least a good first step so right. of course, you re on an air base, we re hearing a lot of that in the background. now let s expand on what you just said. it s outrageous it has everyone in this studio and the control room seething. because evidently hasan used a nonissued military gun or perhaps the fact that this was still considered a noncombat injury, guys like you sergeant manning, aren t eligible for $800 a month along with back pay. is that what you re hearing? yes. that s what s going on right now, yes. i mean, there s several benefits that come along with combat-related, having your injuries classified as combat related. unfortunately what i m hearing right now the army is not ready or willing to do that yet. we re hoping they change their mind obviously.
