From all of my best friends, who have all been deployed at least once, PTSD testing is all bullshit. One of my friends got back from Iraq a few months ago. Their "PTSD Testing" consisted of the entire unit going into a giant auditorium and having a psychologist go up in front of them and saying "Please don't beat the shit out of your wives. If you must, buy a dog and beat it". This being said to a room full of Marines who would take puppies, place them in a bag, and see how many times you had to hit the bag till they all stopped yelping and died. Or how long it would take for a bag of them to drown, just to cure boredom in Iraq.
His stories, not mine.
Nonetheless, my condolences to the shooters family, and to the family of all those who were wounded and killed. I think it's best put that men who kill their fellow countrymen have a special spot reserved for them in hell.
