(UNEDITED) People shoud stop being mad at this poor psychiatrist and start feeling sorry for him. After spending 6 years at Walter Reed during wartime, people should realize that this guy suffered terribly from PTSD. You can't deal with that volume of shattered soldiers (quadropalegics, blind, and brain damaged) without being greatly affected. Then, when you add on a crappy evaluation and imminent combat deployment orders...things can boil order.
These wars have gone on too long, with too few military members, and with a severe shortage of mental health providers. Now...we're all paying the price by pushing our mental health providers over the edge.
So, stop hating Dr. Hasan and start caring about the mental health of ALL your military members.
P.S. It's a load of crap to hear everyone care about Veterans 1 week per year, during Veterans Day hoo-plah. Encourage the media to stop glorifying war. 25% of all Iraq & Afghanistan veterans suffer from PTSD...not very glorious is it???
