Recent combat doesn’t mean he did or didn’t suffer PTSD. This is a terrible tragedy whether it was terrorism or a soldier suffer from mental illness. Actually the lack of care for our Wounded Warriors and those who suffer PTSD pisses me off. I am positive there are many more ticking time bombs with PTSD walking the streets of America. Same as those who returned from Vietnam. I cant tell you how many Vietnam Vets I have known who came back paranoid, depressed, withdrawn, odd etc. Very sad that once again we have turned our backs on these brave men and women.
PTSD does not carry with it a propensity to hurt others.
KT McFarland was on Hannity screeching about how this was the second time PTSD and our neglect of soldiers has hit Ft hood
No. Hasan did not suffer from PTSD. He had a Jihad. I’t a bit damned different.
Nam one person who shot everyone dt PTSD. Mc Veigh? OK that was 20 yrs ago and the evidence shows, just by the swiftness with which he was tried and executed, he was not alone.
Anyone else? NO
This is so bad the way they’ll spin it with the help of commenters who don’t know about {TSD
THey are champing at the bit to corral everyone in as about to shoot everyone.
I was married to an army officer for 32 years. He was drafted during the Vietnam War, so I have met many who have served. I worked in an army hospital, as an RN, during the Vietnam War....treating many wounded.
I still have base privileges, so for many years I have volunteered for the USO. I see, meet, and talk with troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have watched how they have been treated upon their return. I don’t agree with you when you say we have turned our backs on them.
How are you involved with the troops? What made you come to this conclusion?
