Stress, anxiety and sleeplessness can cause mental illness. It may be PTSD or just the symptoms of PTSD but it exists. Our military personnel deal with stressful issues everyday and we need to ensure that they are treated properly for the stress they endure. There are many resources out there to help overcome these symptoms:

While I agree that PTSD is a real thing our military men and women can and are dealing with. Lumping in what happened at Fort Hood by an Islamic Muslim terrorist is a disservice and insult to our brave men and women that protect us all everyday. Our government should do everything to help and treat our real soldiers that have PSTD so they do not suffer from lasting effects from their brave wartime service. What happened in Fort Hood by an Islamic Muslim terrorist is in fact another terrorist attack on American soil but there are cowards in our government and our media that want to cover it up in the form of political correctness. That’s truly a disgrace to the men and women that lost their lives and were wounded in this attack and all other that we honor today.
