Reply #15: Was it PTSD?

If you watch that video it almost seems like he's regressed into the lines of combat.

If wanted to die by cop why shoot the two cops and then run?

It was in alley way that managed to take him down. Urban combat all over again

I would say PTSD (Vietnam post traumatic stress disorder. Flashbacks)

This is the nightmare these kids are returning to, adjusting to home life all over again. Except the process in healing isn't going happen when 4 months later or 6 months later your being shipped back to the nightmare.

They did a study on Vets from Vietnam, 5 years after getting out. Vets were more likely to abuse drugs, more often involved in fatal car accidents, the rate of suicides were up, and homicides.

Have we learned nothing from these guys? We just keep throwing them back into the fray to be exposed over and over again. It's bullshit and someone needs to be held accountable. Maybe Rummy and Bush Co can operate the white house from Iraq for a week. Or give their children up to a needless war.

Don't forget the malaria drug, and cocktails of inoculations they are give too. malaria one is especially prone to causing some to wig out. Even months after it's given. I know because my hubby wigged out on it after coming back from Afghanistan.

It's sad really, seems like all of these men and women have one foot in the grave, no matter where they are. In Iraq your shot at, your at home your suffering from PTSD and vulnerable to all of those complications.

It's time to stop the madness
