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."

According to Elijah Cummings, they all have PTSD at IRS.

Did they ever find that $23,000,000 of stimulus funds that Walsh’s Department of Military Affairs “lost”?
“I don’t want to blame my mistake on PTSD” but I don’t mind using it as an excuse. And if you mock me you hate veterans. And you’re probably a racist.
There is always the reliable Democrat standby excuse.
It was Bush’s fault.
How did Walsh, an Ordinance Branch Officer, come to command an Infantry Battalion?
Quite true.

My American bulldog finally got over his fireworks noise PTSD.
He’s finally back working on his Phd dissertation defense.
BS. The guy was an Ordnance Colonel, either commanding a support group or he was a staff weenie. We will soon know particulars. The only PTSD he might have gotten would have come from an overload of PowerPoint slides. This guy is a phony.
My cats are just recovering form the last time the Blue Angels were in town. Lets see, that was prior to the Sequestration fight.
It took a while. I told them not to fear the noise. Obama is still _resident.
OMG!!! What a PHONY ASS!!! TYPICAL LYING DEMOCRAT!!!
using someone else's death as an excuse for your cheating....that's really low
Well, we can’t risk having a PTSD victim on the Senate floor, now can we?
You are a lying POS.....but of course that’s why you are a democrat..... I would bet my last dime he never had a shot fired at him in Iraq....
He did go to Iraq. He was in command of an Infantry Battalion.
The Regular Army refused to extend “Federal Recognition” of his promotion to Brigadier General because of the findings of an Inspector General investigation. He’s a bad one.
Wonder though. Why is the New York Times going after a democrat? Is it because he is losing in the polls? Are they going to get him to resign so the governor can appoint someone else who polls better?
This is like when Torricelli suddenly didn’t have a friend in the world and got forced out so Lautenberg could step in and save the New Jersey senate seat.
I plagiarized because of RACISM!
Oh wait I'm white.I plagiarized because of SEXISM!
Oh wait I'm male.I plagiarized because of HOMOPHOBIA!
Oh wait I'm straight.Damn. This is hard.
I plagiarized because of GEORGE BUSH!
Much better, I'm on the right track, still not quite there...I plagiarized because of PTSD!
Perfect.
Definitely has all the qualifications to be the scumbag politician that the US is currently overwhelmed with!
