Sad...if that was a battalion commander that meant an officer w a rank of Lieutenant Colonel with many years of service
There are lots of plausible explanations....drugs,family problems,a "Major Hassan" type of thing,psychiatric trauma (PTSD) and your suggestion just being several of them.
Society is going to hell.
Prayers for this Commander and the family members undergoing this loss.

When you have the leadership of the military using the armed forces to install the radical Islamic enemy into power within the US government and throughout the world, that might be a tad confusing to US soldiers.
Political correctness is immoral, dishonest, dishonorable and disloyal at it’s core. It fosters tribal divisions and scapegoats. The leadership of this country gives the impression they are playing around with soldier’s lives and well being in a sadistic anti-American horror movie.
According to p.c. this is no more than a workplace accident. Human life is an evolutionary accident.
The culture of the armed forces is becoming confused, watered-down, muddled. The pressure of high standards, conformity and discipline can be managed if the culture is unified from top to bottom, and everyone recognizes it.
Now the armed forces culture is being changed, not only will lower standards need to be accepted, but many "diverse" parts will now not fit together, at least under the previous high pressure and discipline culture of the US Armed Forces. it will, in extremes, lead to more cases like this one.
The multiple deployments are a major issue, there is more going on too. According to some friends in the Army there is a huge shift going on right now away from promoting “combat” Officers/NCOs to promoting and giving good assignments to those that grabbed schools, avoided deployments, and kissed butt since 9/11. Leadership is now more concerned with grooming standards, classes, non-combat issues- even in a combat zone. Soldiers who have excelled in combat are now being given the short end of the stick.
It is bad enough that our combat soldiers have been deployed over and over- stressed out, marriages and other relationships falling apart from the strain. Now they are being treated as though their sacrifices have been for nothing.
...525th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade, which is a reconnaissance and intelligence unit, according to its Facebook page.
According to Facebook? That's some quality reporting there.
No name or photo of the alleged shooter, just the fact that he served for eight years, worked in the motor pool and is accused of theft.
I don’t know what we can glean from this.
No name or photo? That usually indicates that the alleged perpetrator belongs to some special, protected class. Now what kind of name would the brass—especially under President Bobo—NOT want associated with such an act? Hmmm...
Spc. Ricky G. Elder, 27, of Hutchinson, Kan., died Saturday at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, a nursing supervisor at the hospital confirmed to the Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer.Sounds like somebody who should never have been accepted into the Army in the first place.Elder was facing court-martial for larceny charges after he allegedly stole a $1,700 toolkit at Fort Bragg, military officials said.
Elder's lawyer, Les Hulnick, of Wichita, Kan., told the Observer his client had a pending court case in Kansas. Elder had pleaded guilty to a felony charge of aggravated battery for punching a woman in the face at a bar. Hulnick said Elder was due in Reno County court in Kansas Friday for his sentencing hearing.
