The ‘Untold Story’ Of Chris Kyle’s Killer
Daily Caller ^ | 02/12/2015 | Jonah Bennett

Posted on 02/13/2015 9:01:26 AM PST by Rusty0604

In a post on their site titled “Eddie Routh: The Untold Story,” Warfighter News details their comprehensive investigation involving interviews with three Marines who served directly with Routh, and several inconsistencies with the defense.

“We reached out to experts and did our own homework,” Spencer Walker, Board Chairman and CEO of Warfighter News, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “The defense is trying to claim Routh had PTSD, but our analysis shows that it’s extremely unlikely. According to Dr. C. Alan Hopewell, former Senior Neuropsychologist for the Department of the Army, Routh’s actions indicate paranoid schizophrenia. PTSD has been endlessly ripped out of its context. Our organization is essentially the only one looking at it from this angle.”

The Marines failed, Veterans Affairs (VA) failed, and his parents failed to look into Routh’s dark past and detect a dangerous pattern of drug abuse, deadly violence, and a misdiagnosis of PTSD, Walker said — adding that the choice of Routh’s defense attorneys to blame his actions on PTSD essentially implies that every veteran suffering from PTSD is dangerous and potentially a murderer.

“Routh was never near any incoming. Where he was located on the camp, he was rather safe and cozy,” said Cpl. Ryker Pawloski, a Marine who served with Routh in Iraq in the 8th Combat Logistics Battalion.

“If you go to a doctor and say I have anxiety, they’ll treat you for anxiety,” Walker continued. “If you’re a veteran and you go to the VA, they’ll say you have PTSD right off the bat. PTSD is one of the most over-diagnosed conditions in the veteran community and the VA hospital that Routh had gone to was one of the worst in the nation, but the VA does have a great public affairs office.”

My first thought when seeing his mug shot was that he looked like a muslim convert. Your post is the first time I have read anything that supports my suspicion.

He had the same facial hair as the two guys he shot. And that half of that part of Texas under age 35 has.

“You have mentioned the unmentionable. That the guy was a Muslim getting revenge must not be put on the table for public exposure.”

Actually, no. He shaved his mustache, which is typical of a convert to Islam.

Look at his mugshot. That ain’t it, and that isn’t what he had. Again, you must not spend much time in that part of Texas.

And every other nutball moslem has left a trail like an Oklahoma tornado of moslemness. Emails, writings, letters, coworkers, what imam they followed, jihadi youtube and Facebook posts, statements upon arrest, behavior after arrest, etc etc. This guy has a beard. That’s it.

When someone great is struck down, we want it to have meaning. It had to be Obamas revenge, it had to be a moslem striking back, etc. The desire is that they were killed by something big, worthy of who they were. Like Jackie O said after JFK was shot. Something along the lines that “why did it have to be just some silly little communist?”
Its hard to accept that it was simply a stark raving mad lunatic of the order of the type that killed John Lennon, shot Reagan, or committed the Son of Sam murders. People look for clues but there are none that will make sense outside his own crazy skull.

Those two good guys trying to do some good in the world were murdered by a psychotic, for reasons that are simply not possible to make sense of. You really cant even get revenge. He’s not like us. All you can do is lock him up or kill him. Essentially, he’s nothing more or less than a mad dog. ANd it has no deeper meaning.

No, my time in Texas is generally on air force bases, where the only beard is often mine (and I am generally in a flight suit, so I get a few looks).

And I agree that “scruf” is the normal look among most more masculine younger males not in the military (a rejection of the feminization of America, IMHO), but a “chin beard” has a distinct meaning, at least in middle eastern circles.

“Routh had become a Muslim fundamentalist while a prison guard at Balad Air Base in Iraq, according to multiple sources.

That’s the entire story.”

Do you have some links for this or are you just making it up. We FReepers need to remain FACT BASED so we don’t give ammunition to our enemies who want to paint FReepers and other constitutional conservatives as nut cases.

I have to say something about recruiting these days.

With hussein on the job, and the results we’ve seen in his so-called “combatting” of enemy islamism, there must be some blowback relating to at least some of those currently seeking to enter the military.

When I entered the Army back in 1967 (RA, but the draft was still on too), there was some rather extensive mental screening in place. Not that it culled every whackjob who may or may not have been trying to enlist, though as I say, it was relatively extensive.

Today, after several years of uncertain warfare, and a sometimes genuine dearth of patriots who would have enlisted in earlier periods, but would not even consider it these days under the likes of a CIC like ø, it seems altogether possible to me that those earlier standards have been relaxed to the point where already mentally ill characters like this Routh guy are passed upon merely to fill ranks.

Perhaps I’m totally wrong having been out of the military for so long. But I would be interested in hearing from any former Marine, soldier or sailor of say the past 6 to 8 years to this effect.

End of rant.

“PTSD is the new ADD or ADHD.”

Exactly. I knew a young Air Force vet who was totally nuts. I figured the USAF recruiter must have needed to fill his monthly quota and pushed him through because he had no business being in ANY branch of the military. He spent a grand total of 14 months at the GPS Satellite facility in Colorado Springs and was medically discharged with a 100% service-connected disability that included PTSD. I never realized that Colorado Springs was a combat zone. Meanwhile, people who have REAL mental and physical injuries have to wait for the VA to get off their dead arses to get taken care of.

You mean, besides the link I posted on the thread long before you made an ass out of yourself?

Sorry, you didn’t post a link in the thread until the 43rd post which I had not read when I made the comment. And that link infers that because he supposedly had a trimmed mustache at some point he MAY possibly be Muslim.

I’m going to have to caution my son about hanging around with all his young friends who are potential Muslims because they have trimmed mustaches.

His father said it. In his letters home he sympathized with the prisoners.

He sounds like one. Attacking his fellow marines.
