Could quicker diagnosis for PTSD have stopped the Ft Hood Shooting

I made this conclussion based on the information I've seen in your profile.  Just like how the news has made their conclussion.  You don't have to be wounded or experience traumatic events down range.  Losing his mother and grandfather was probably a traumatic event for him.  For you to make your assumptions based on what you read, I should be entitled to do the same off of your profile.  And we all know how this should have been handled differently.  As soon as that Red Cross message came down, he's chain of command should have been on it to get him to PR for the funeral.  There shouldn't have been no delay or excuses made to that Soldier.  And since you confirmed that his depression related from his mother's and grandfathers death was the start.  What was the start when he was being seen for possible TBI and PTSD before their deaths?  Look, all I'm saying SSG Cadeno, since every body thinks they know everything about everybody, they really don't know shit.  That Soldier needed help and now we will never know whether he received the proper care he deserved whether if it was combat related or state related and now we have a tragedy.  TBI and PTSD was not really known or cared for back when we were in Iraq, correct me if I'm wrong.  But there are a lot of Soldiers complaining about these headaches and symptons related to PTSD.  Just with my experience, I feel the only help I get is by being drugged up.  And let me tell you from my personal experience, I feel more flustered and pissed with the meds I'm on than when I'm off.  The only difference is that my headaches hurt worse when I'm not on them.   

Same here, I agree to disagree. And I am passionate about this topic.  No hard feelings, this is the type of discussions they should have at the state capital.  People like us should speak on behalf of the one's who can't. 

Those are wise words right there.
