One for the "Hero" file

The Ft Hood unit targeted by the stealth-jihadi assassin-wannabe is deploying to Afghanistan.

The day after arriving at Fort Hood, Army reservists dedicated to counseling troubled soldiers in war zones were overcome with their own grief.
Nearly a fourth of the Wisconsin-based 467th Medical Detachment's soldiers died or were injured in the shooting rampage last month at the sprawling Texas post. The accused gunman, Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan, was supposed to deploy with the unit.
Yet the soldiers said they never wavered in their determination to serve. They spent the last month training together, and several soldiers from across the country volunteered to fill the void left by the three soldiers slain and six others seriously wounded.
The 43 members of the Army Reserve combat stress unit were set to deploy to Afghanistan on Friday. Department of Defense officials decided only recently that the unit would deploy as originally scheduled.
