Mr. Williams states that PTSD sufferers have irritablility and outbursts of anger, yet he also states that PTSD could not explain Smith's alleged violent behavior. What bull**** that is... These...

Nobody here said what was done was right, but there needs to be treatment along with the punishment, not just punishment. Jerry, you may not have come home and done stupid crap, but you are but one. There are those out there that simply cannot cope with the stresses of the aftermath once they come home. Gotta agree with FIST on this one, lots of unknowns.... My point was that PTSD is written off far too often and ignored as just stupid behavior rather than trying to find the solution. Just my .02 cents....
