BS. He discredits himself even more. More so all the real people who suffer such a fate.

PTSD?

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

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.

"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."

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.

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!

Holy crap! Another demo manages to smear veterans with their own scandal.

We need to be taking lessons from this muldoon.

Wha?

PTSD didn’t stop you from making sure all of those words matched up.

Sounds like when they caught Joe Biden many years ago, always a sorry excuse.

A shameless, selfish, and slovenly shyster shamelessly shills his sick, sad, and sorry self into sweet, secure sinecure through sinister scholarly shenanigans.

As a general rule, it is usually fairly obvious whether a written submission in college is a purposeful plagiarism or an unintentional omission of a citation. In Walsh’s case, it was clearly purposeful.

The Senator should feel the effects of this, but also the thesis committee of the War College: this was done in 2007, long after Turnitin.com was available, so it would have taken five minutes and a laptop to check the thesis.

Who wants a senator who has such a handy excuse for his character flaws?
