How long will it be...
....before everyone in Texas is shot dead?
“A soldier who was being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder opened fire at Fort Hood on Wednesday, killing three people and wounding 16 before killing himself, the authorities said. The shooting set off a huge police response and shut down the sprawling Army base, the same facility where a deadly rampage by an officer resulted in 13 deaths in 2009.” |

Maybe it is a problem with that profession. There are a number of significant issues with the military system's handling of these sorts of disorders and the willingness of personnel to truly discuss their emotional problems. The reports I read indicated the guy saw a military psychiatrist once and was prescribed a medication known to cause hallucinations. Were there followup visits to the psychiatrist? Did military protocol allow the psychiatrist enough time to make an accurate evaluation? Apparently something in the system was amiss, because, according to a report in the Christian Science Monitor: "In the days before going on a shooting rampage that would take the lives of three people and leave more than a dozen others wounded Specialist Ivan Lopez was “under diagnosis” for post-traumatic stress disorder, “but he had not yet been diagnosed,” the senior officer at Fort Hood, Texas, said Thursday. "So how long does that take, exactly, to diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder? And does the fact that he was undiagnosed – after what US officials describe as a history of "psychiatric instability” – mean that the military failed to heed the lessons of some of its most recent tragedies?" http://tinyurl.com/mu5hdv6 I wouldn't jump on the old PTSD bandwagon until we find out what he was fighting with the first victim about. I'm not jumping on any bandwagon...just posting a news story that stated the guy was "undiagnosed." |

I think I heard the Commanding General of Ft. Hood say that the shooter did one short tour in either Iraq or Afghanistan. That doesn't mean he saw any combat though. The world is full of people with psychological problems. Women drive into lakes with their kids in the car, trying to kill them. Nut cases shoot up kids in schools. Crimes of passion occur everyday. Shrinks and therapists miss the warning signs all the time. The military is no different. |
