In search of Hasan's syndrome
Power Line —
... If there is a cruel irony here, it is that bona fide victims of PTSD have this nonsense inflicted on them at home. J.R. Salzman is one such victim as a result of the incident in which he was seriously injured in Iraq, and he is righteously unamused (via ...

... do so. I await Ms. Goodman's Op-Ed where she connects the dots for Major Hasan as she did for Scott Roeder. But let me ask a different question - how many Muslims have died in this country and Great Britain, and possibly Spain and France... at the hands of radicalized muslims, vice knocked off by frothing-at-the-mouth birthers and others of that rhetorical ilk? Just asking. On a tangentially related note - the fact that poor Major Hasan is merely a victim of PTSD by proxy - I'll let JR ...
Not PTSD
Neptunus Lex —
JR Salzman, an outstanding young man I met a couple of years back at a MilBlog conference, knows a thing or two about post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.
And his opinion about Major Hasan, the murderer of 13 American soldiers whom the media is trying to spin into some class of victim?
He ain’t got it:
(You) don’t get PTSD from sitting on your ass around Walter Reed. Not only is it not possible to “catch” secondhand PTSD, but it is not that kind of a place. I would know, I was a patient ...
WTF is Secondary Post-Traumatic Stress?
Op For —
... Malik Hasan had a front row seat on the brutal toll of war. It is too early to know exactly what may have triggered his murderous shooting rampage Thursday at Fort Hood — Hasan is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 32 others before he was wounded by a police officer — but it is not uncommon for therapists treating soldiers with Post Trumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D.) to be swept up in a patient's displays of war-related paranoia, helplessness and fury.

Defending the Caregivers
Mudville Gazette —
"I'm more than a little angry right now," writes J.R. Salzman. Yes, I'm irate that some shitbag Major ("shitbag" is often used as a technical term in the Army) opened fire on a group of his fellow Soldiers killing 12 and wounding 30. But that's not even what is under my skin right now. What is bothering me is the general reaction of our media and those stupid enough to think this was not an act of terrorism, but was caused by supposed PTSD caused at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Salzman, whose milblog Lumberjack in the ...
Hero JR Salzman Slams State-Run Media On Bogus PTSD Claims
Gateway Pundit —
JR Salzman, the “Lumberjack in the Desert” blogger, was the ESPN Outdoor Sportsman of the Year back in 2005.
Then he went to Iraq.
JR lost his arm in an IED attack.
In July he came back and won his 7th ESPN Logrolling Championship.

J.R. passed this on to me last night.
He’s not too happy about the latest BS coming from the state-run media:

Unreal… Obama: Hasan May Have ‘Cracked’ From ‘Stress’
Gateway Pundit —
... — there are going to be instances in which an individual cracks. I think the questions that we’re asking now and we don’t have yet complete answers to is, is this an individual who’s acting in this way or is it some larger set of actors? You know, what are the motivations? Those are all questions that I think we have to ask ourselves. Until we have these answers buttoned down, I’d rather not comment on it.
What a disaster.
JR Salzman has some advice for the president.
Today Obama’s going to Fort Hood for the ...
Subject: Thoughts from a Walter Reed Patient with PTSD -- By: Rich Lowry
The Corner on National Review Online —
... was a patient at Walter Reed for 9 months in 2007, the same time Major Hassan was there. I have PTSD and TBI. The attempts by the media to say this guy has PTSD by proxy are absolutely disgusting, and serve as a giant middle finger toward every Soldier like me who has actually deployed and has real medical problems. I posted the following on my blog this weekend. I'm sending you the text only version. The post on my blog has photos of me at Walter Reed with my doctors and therapists. ...
PTSD and Fort Hood
Solomonia —
Somehow I missed this must-read post from milblogger J.R. Salzman when it first went up two weeks ago: PTSD:
