He should not be sentenced to death, that would give him what he wanted.

Agreed! Amen! He killed in the name of his religion, not because he suffered from airborne PTSD. Political correctness is killing this nation. It makes me ANGRY beyond comprehension that this man was able to carry out this crime when there were so many warning signs. I hope to GOD that these families affected go after those responsible for letting this man’s anti-Americanism go unchecked, and allowing this man to continue along in the military as if he belonged.

It makes people wonder…should we be worried about the soldiers who work next to our spouses? One does not need to lay more fear, doubt, or angst, on a military families lap…we’ve got e-damn-nough!

Health care providers do become depressed over seeing repeated patients in crisis over an extended period of time. However, this is true in both inside and outside the military.

This may have happened to him, but it gives no reason for choosing the path that he took. Lots of healthcare providers suffer from depression and PTSD. Hardly any become murderous thugs.

Amen and AMEN! I just put my own 2 cents’ worth up on this, and no surprise, I agree with you…

Regardless of his religion, beliefs, nationality or anything else…HE will have to answer for himself one day and I am so very thankful I am NOT in his shoes. And if he has hopes of going to the “land of buxomy doe-eyed virgins” then he better HURRY up because I believe they are about to be depleted!!

I so agree Troy. Hell if the people who are supposed to help are susceptible to secondary PTSD as they’re trying to claim, then I guess I’d better get myself locked up, considering I’ve spent my entire adult life in some type of helping role, from law enforcement, to ems to counseling and victim advocacy. By their definition, that should make me a prime candidate to snap and commit some vile and violent act. But you know what, I’ve never once had the urge to do something like that and never will. They’re only attempting to set this scum up with a defense and that pisses me off.
