9 News Stories The Iraq war veteran was being evaluated for post traumatic stress disorder before he opened fire at the Fort Hood Army post in Texas on Wednesday. --April, the Army vet of Iraq and Afghanistan had been committed several times, the horrors of war leaving him delusional...these men are all vets who have fought for us, only to fight their own demons...iraq and Afghanistan brought constant combat, roadside bombs, long deployments, and the randomness of urban warfare. -- May, 2014 "As with many veterans, [name redacted] s battle against the emotional scars of a long military career was just beginning when he returned home. It ended last month when he was shot to death after he threatened to kill the family." --May, 2014 Two soldiers from the unit... were killed, and three fellow soldiers were charged with murder. The killings were part of a larger pattern of violence extending back to 2005, including 11 murders, in what was the largest killing spree involving a single army base in modern U.S. history... Tellingly, [the unit's] post-traumatic stress disorder rate was more than three times that of an equivalent unit that had served in a less violent part of Iraq. --April, 2014 Removing the Stigma: Media Portrayal Counter: 500,000 Veterans are treated for some form of PTSD each year. 7.7 Million Americans cope with some form of PTSD. On an average day, you may be talking to an average person, veteran or civilian, dealing with PTSD and never have any idea. We must have honest conversations about how veterans fit into our larger society. We are neither special victims of our service nor necessarily special heroes because of it, certainly no more than the many Americans who are everyday heroes. PTSD is the perfect place to start that conversation. Whenever a veteran is implicated in a crime, the default assumption is that he or she is suffering from PTSD, but no one ever blames PTSD if a soccer mom loses her temper at the referee, though she may very well have PTSD from a teenage physical assault. In neither case is PTSD relevant to the incident or the outburst because PTSD is no more to blame for violence in veterans than it is in the average American. --Wellman, June,
