yeah that was my starting pay, basically for being a carpenter/rigger/electrician (low voltage). I paid more after you proved yourself and that was 20 plus years ago

One of the great scandals of the Obama administration has been its shameful designation of the Nov. 5, 2009, rampage at the Army base in Killeen, Texas, by Maj. Nidal Hasan as "workplace violence." While Hasan continues to draw his pay, this designation has denied the dead and the survivors the benefits they would have been entitled to had the attack been properly labeled an act of terror. One would expect that when a self-proclaimed "Soldier of Allah" shouting "Allahu Akhbar" opens fire on dozens of American citizens and soldiers, killing and maiming as many innocents as he can, it would have been called an act of terror. Thirteen people were killed, including a pregnant soldier, and 32 others shot during Hasan's rampage against soldiers being processed for deployment to Afghanistan. The White House so far has not commented on Hasan's stunning announcement that he will defend not only himself but also "the leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the Taliban." In other words, he committed an act of terror on behalf of an enemy of the United States.
