.... As to the NCO having a number of deployments, having gotten his nugget rocked, and having marital and adjustment problems. Do you know how many Soldiers that describes since 2001? Many, many, many. There may have been other warning signs but to say "Oh, this guy got knocked in the head and had marriage problems, why didn't anyone do anything?" is ridiculous.
And here we go again!
Vietnam GWOT vets with PTSD with anger problems leading to timebombs walking our streets. But now instead of waiting till they come come to explode they are falling apart while still deployed. Hell, even the VA is touting that line now.
And the paid "experts" for the .mil and .gov are saying that this guy most likely was an "outsider" that the SF guys did not take in even though he was assigned to their little base, and that lack of sleep may have contributed to a "berserker" state of mind.
If nothing else, I see the guy being set up for a not guilty by reaason of insanity verdict. That, and if he does not get his VA disability compensation claim approved the say he gets out - whether or not he even files a claim - then there is truely something rotten going on.
stay safe.
