Again, the media is hoping that the Public are just totally ignorant sheeple. They have now decided that, since they are not journalists, the wanabe psychiatrists, so they have invented a new psychiatric disorder, called "PTSD by Proxy." to explain Major Hasan's Act of Terrorism. Of course, there is no such a thing as that in the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-IV-TR Manual, in which all the diagnostic criteria for all mental conditions is listed. Usually, for any suspected condition, a certain percentage of the observed moods, idiosyncrasies is required before a definitive diagnosis can be made. In other words, an expert Psychiatrist, usually with some expertise in the suspected disorder.

There are these criteria that have to met, in addition to the patient being confined to a hospital for a period of time, so his/her moods,etc. can be observed for at least 10 days, preferably a month. Obviously, there are important reasons for a stringent set of rules to be met, before classifying a patient as schizophrenic, bipolar, paranoid, obsessive compulsive, and so forth. The treatment for each mental disorder would dictate a certain type of therapy and medication. However, in the case of these "politically correct" journalists, wanting to blame the Act of War committed by Major Hasan on "PTSD by Proxy", such a disease does not even exist.

From Connecticut government website:

The Diagnostic Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association includes the criteria most widely used in the United States to classify mental disorders. The diagnostic criteria for PTSD in its current manual (DSM-IV) may be summarized as follows:

1. exposure to an extremely stressful and traumatic event “that involved actual or threatened death or serious injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of self or others”;

2. persistent “re-experience” of the trauma (e. g. , intrusive recollections of the event, nightmares, or flashbacks);

3. persistent avoidance of activities and stimuli reminiscent of the trauma;

4. emotional numbing (e. g. , difficulty experiencing positive emotions or markedly diminished interest or participation in significant activities);

5. persistent symptoms of increased arousal not present before the trauma (e. g. , difficulty falling asleep, difficulty concentrating, irritability or outbursts of anger, and hyper-vigilance); and

6. symptoms last for more than one month (DSM I-V, 309. 81, attached).

So, where was the trauma for Major Hasan? He had been in the Army since graduating from college (about 18 yrs) and the Army paid for his medical training; he was even promoted to a Major, just last May. He never saw combat; nor was he the victim of discrimination. In fact, the staff, and his supervisors at Walter Reed, etc. probably would have done him a big favor by kicking him out of the Army, after they started to hear his Jihadist lectures about beheading infidels. Nor did he show any avoidance behavior, since he only had to serve 8 years and stayed in much longer than that. Furthermore, he was not a combatant, and neither were those he murdered. They were medical officers, medical support, engineers, and technicians. They were unarmed.

Hasan was just like a brainwashed kamakazi who believed in the Code of the Sumarai. Hasan's murderous rampage was not only an act of premeditated terror, it was an Act of War. All too many times, the American Public has been asked to forgive those who wish to kill us. And we do. But please, do not compromise our military with Muslims, who can not be trusted to hold an allegiance to the Constitution above the Quran.

You see, the Jihadists believes that Islam Global Dominance can be achieved not only by outright invasion, but also by infiltration, which is accomplished by taqqiya (lying). This lying, for the purpose of advancing Islam Globalism, is not considered immoral at all. Just look at what Obama is saying, and he knows the Quran, grew up with it. He knows that Islam is not really a religion, but a political manual to conquer the World and establish an Islamic Global government. And, as Major Hasan said in one of his lectures at Walter Reed, those infidels who do not submit to Islam can be killed.
