This guy heard and saw the hell he was being sent to, everyday he saw people that had body parts blown off them. He heard all of their horror stories, and he snapped. Maybe the human mind is just not capable of handling that much horror and pain and fear. He was about to be sent to the same hell he heard about everyday. You can't justify it. You can not dismiss the possible reason he snapped either. It's not hard to figure out.His mind couldn't handle what others have seen?
Yes Tex, the PC crowd is now saying that the guy has Pre Traumatic Stress Disorder
Who? Where? When? Link please.

Hmm. Looks like this term has been used for a variety of things long before the Ft. Hood attack.

Looks like the term pre-traumatic stress has been floating around out there for a while now. Imagine, you can now become traumatized by the very thought of stress, instead of real stress.ledefensetech wrote:

The only person this statement was directly attributed to was a former soldier herself.
What PC crowd?!?!?
Again, I ask the question. Why make crap up and attribute it to others? The only "other" directly quoted as using the phrase would hardly be considered a member of the "PC crowd."
Or is it just that anyone who does not want all Arabs shot on sight considered a member of the PC crowd?
And for the record, having been stationed at Fort Hood, I don't consider what Major Hasan did excusable.
But, and this is a big but, killing indiscriminately, as he did, does not make things better. In fact advocating such a move makes the advocate not much better than Major Hasam himself.

Race, religion, ethnicity has nothing to do with the shooting, it is an act of violence and insanity, brutal. It is good he is alive so that they can question him, psychologists havent had a solid answers what goes into the mind of killers like this. It happened before.
I agree with that.

You also seem to have missed the last two links which link to studies being done for something called pre-traumatic stress disorder. Nice to see we're making stuff up out of whole cloth now.

From the mouth of the New York Times itself:
“Every man has his breaking point,” said military doctors in World War II, believing that more than 90 days of continuous combat could turn any soldier into a psychiatric casualty.
For Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who military officials said gunned down dozens of soldiers at Ft. Hood, Tex. on Thursday, that point may have come even before he experienced the reality of war; he was bound for a combat zone but had not yet embarked.
Major Hasan was being sent not to fight, but to join those ranks of doctors who, over centuries of war, have worried about breaking points — how much fear and tedium soldiers can take; how long they can slog through deserts or over mountains; how much blood they can see, how many comrades they can lose — and have sought ways to salve the troops’ psychic wounds and keep them fighting.So we're having psychiatric casualties before they even go into combat? This guy was not a rifleman. He was a support troop.

Read back. One of the posters equated Hasan to a mad dog. What do you do with mad dogs?
I don't make stuff up. That's the wing-nuts specialty.

What's that got to do with attributing the phrase "pre-traumatic stress" to a PC crowd?
None that I see.There was a guy in Amarillo just shot some people in a bar too, one of them was a Brit!

None that I see.Because most people in the humanities field are PC. There's been an ongoing "war" in acadamia for quite some time now between the "soft" sciences like humanities and "hard" sciences like physics. Try researching it. You might find it interesting.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/030014 … dp_product We now know there was only one shooter but there is still the question of whether a larger conspiracy existed or still exists.
