This is certainly a classic case of severe PTSD; actually probably more what they used to refer to as "shell shock". It appears that this Marine was in very violent traumatic war experiences. People react very differently to such situations. I would hope this Marine gets help.

Having said this, it is unconscionable that the Left takes such advantage of this tragic situation. They feed on this trauma and thus traumatize the man twice. This is very similar to what Kerry and his scumbags did after Vietnam.
Here we go again. I will pray for this Marine that he gets the help he needs and that he is removed from those who don't care about him at all and just USE him for their own selfish political ends.

Your response here sounds like you are believing all the crap in this guys story. If these things had really happened, several people would have come forward with it by now. This guy apparantly wanted a medical discharge(which he likely got) and 15 minutes of fame(which I'm not so sure he'll be as successful at getting).
