        <![CDATA[Dr Sean Maloney, you come at this whole picture a little differently, you look at this through the lens of history. But if you ask the question, what is the future? It is nothing more than recycled history. The Army had complaints about this individual during his time at Walter Read and even earlier. Now the Army in its wisdom, sends him to Ft. Hood to treat some of the most vulnerable people in the Military. The soldier really has no choice. &nbsp;I just didn't want to make a definitive decision about this &quot;Major&quot; until more information came out. At some point, all of the information should come out.<br />
<br />
&quot;This isn't paranoia-it's prudence.&quot; I would just say that's *common sense*. But I'm reminded, common sense is not all that common. So, we'll stay with your word &quot;prudence&quot;.<br />]]>

In addition to helping the people he may have addled, somebody had better be looking into how many people he recruited-and for whom. Fast. And they won't all be as readily identifiable as he is. This isn't paranoia-it's prudence.&nbsp;<br />]]>

        <![CDATA[CAPT Clark, I can only speak for one very *Grumpy OLD Vet*,Thank you, for your profound service to this Nation. I was at a VA Hospital in bad shape, the nursing staff was doing the very best it could under the circumstances. There was another patient in my semi-private room and the only thing he knew how to do, complain. He sounded like a flock of brant, rant, rant, rant,- rant,rant,rant,- rant, rant,rant. I asked him a question. I asked him, &quot;Just how many ways is there for a nurse to get even? Do you want to find out? I don't.&quot; He shut up and was a model patient. I wouldn't know it until the day l was discharged. &quot;Old Iron Pants&quot;, the Head Nurse, at that particular time overheard the whole discussion and roared with laughter. She enjoyed it<br />
<br />
*Dr Sean Maloney*, &nbsp;I think you are right on the mark &nbsp;with this PTSD issue, the Intel Community may have actually known this earlier then they are reporting, Then he was working at Bethesda Naval Hospital or the Medical School attached to Bethesda. It appears that during this whole time he was trying to contact al Qaeda, We see this from the end &nbsp;of the Summer 2008, to the present, 11/09/09. We see the same stove pipes as 2001.<br />]]>

If listening to terrible war stories without actually having experienced yourself is enough for a valid PTSD diagnosis, then every military mom, wife or friend whose ear has been bent by the same stories Hasan may have heard, also should be a candidate for a PTSD diagnosis.<br />

Although, in Hasan's case, it was a case of Pre-Traumatic Stress Syndrome.]]>
