Well, you don’t get to not go just because you don’t want to. Apparently was disturbed by what he was hearing from the combat-traumatized solders he was counseling. Very sensitive, couldn’t hang with the war wounds. Had poor performance reports and was himself in counseling.

Sounds a bit like the psychiatrist, not simply unwilling and ill-suited to the military career he had chosen, might have been morphing into patient, or should have been, as he found himself increasingly conflicted at the intersection of various aspects of his life, which appears to have included a respectable level of stress and some potentially extreme contradictions. Given that he worked at the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress, that part of it starts to sound like a very big dot that shouldn’t have needed that much connecting.

Here’s another one, dot-connection in process.

Had been the focus of some level of attention by federal agents for at least six months....

He's been trying for a discharge for years now, from what I understand. Even offered to repay his medical training.

This woman---who was actually present--HEARD him say it.

(sorry, I was responding to a different clip---but it is still a great video of one of the Fort Hood survivors)

Isn't the preferred method of killing by pious muslim males, attack by ambush on unarmed civilians.

That lady soldier has amazing composure and courage, and I'm happy that her gun shot injury isn't more serious.

It could have been a ricocheted bullet that hit her in the back, but regardless she appeared to be in good
physical and emotional condition.

That creep should have been discharged with a dishonorable status based on statements to fellow colleagues and his unfavorable evaluation at Walter
Reed Hospital. Also, I've heard that he was trying to
proselytize his patients!!!
