Montana Sen. John Walsh's thesis written to earn a master's degree from the U.S. Army War College contains unattributed passages taken word-for-word from previously published papers.
The Democrat said Wednesday he was on medication and being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder from his service in Iraq when he wrote the paper. He said he also was dealing with the stress of a fellow veteran's recent suicide.
Walsh said he made an unintentional mistake and did not intend to plagiarize.
"I don't want to blame my mistake on PTSD, but I do want to say it may have been a factor," Walsh told The Associated Press. "My head was not in a place very conducive to a classroom and an academic environment."

BS. He discredits himself even more. More so all the real people who suffer such a fate.
Guess the "my computer crashed" excuse was all used up.
I have PTSD whenever I hear a leftist on TV spew their idiocy, can I plagiarize papers and get away with it too
Oh yes you do.
BS. Take responsibility for your actions. The feckless fool on the hill has taught you well.
It takes concentration and a pattern of dedicated behaviors to transcript, copy plagerize that much data, on different dates and different topics. Is he saying his PSTD could be effecting him for hours at a time, where he cannot account for his actions? I’ve heard of this with Ambien. He should be careful using that excuse. It could cause others to see him as unfit for any office.
But I'll keep the degree nonetheless, thank you very much.

Entirely possible. Perhaps he was subjected to an enemy full frontal verbal assault and constant barrage of insults. It can be unnerving.

It was PTSD alright: Plagarists’ Thesis-Shamming Disorder
Oh, Horsesh@#!
I did my coursework for the Sergeants Major Academy right after coming out of Iraq (322 days of combat for my company) and I never had the urge to steal someone else’s work.
Man Up, General!
At the Army War College he displayed the character traits necessary to be a US Senator.
What a lying sack of crap!! He dishonors all warriors that truly suffer and yet.....are capable of NOT lying!!!!!!!!!
Damned disgusting liberal puke!
Holy crap! Another demo manages to smear veterans with their own scandal.
We need to be taking lessons from this muldoon.
Jet - take a look at this.
His PTSD animal must be a rat.
Next he’ll be checking into some private mental hospital for “therapy.”
i'm not saying it was PTSD, but it was PTSD... 
Wha?
PTSD didn’t stop you from making sure all of those words matched up.
