I'm not gonna judge at this point.Never having gotten within 6000 miles of combat (despite having served in the Vietnam era) I'm in no position to tell a combat vet “just get over it”.I will say that any member of our Armed Forces who show even the slightest psychological troubles,particularly if they have combat experience,should be treated with kid gloves both by medical staff *and* the chain of command.

I don't know the shooter's combat experience, but let me say this - how the hell did hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of combat vets return from the horrors of WWII and never shot up an Army base or school?
All veterans suffer PTSD - combat vets even more so. But it isn't some overwhelming, catastrophic disease like cancer where we need to profile, stigmatize and isolate our veterans.
PTSD has become the excuse du jour for bad behavior, just like racism is used by the poverty pimps and globull warming for everything bad that happens in the universe.
