Kudos to Tim Graham, who does as fine a job as anyone taking down the media's "overstretched and stressed out" military narrative answering the question of 'why' Hasan went on his rampage.

And yet, some are already suggesting that Maj. Hasan's lack of combat experience precludes us from assuming the crimes were at all influenced by the stress of war. "They weren't in Iraq," author Dinesh D'Souza said on television Thursday night, analyzing the culprit. "They were living a normal, everyday life." But he is wrong. In the midst of two wars, those living as military and military family experience a different, often more distressing, everyday experience of 'normal.' And forgetting that, either in understanding this singular case, or making a decision about more deployments, is dangerous at best, and morally bankrupt at worst.

Uh...by definition PTSD can't apply to someone who hasn't been in combat, i.e. "post-traumatic", otherwise every liberal couch potato could claim the disability because they watch too much TV or read about War on the internet and feel 'stressed' about it. This Andrew Bast is a special kind of stupid.

You know what actually is morally bankrupt? Pretending to care about the well-being of our troops while proselytizing your anti-war rhetoric. Andrew Bast couldn't care less about the well-being of our troops. If he did, he'd be arguing for the removal of all Muslims from the military and for giving McChrystal the troops he needs in country to ease the pressure on the inadequate troop strength.

But he's not. He makes shit up and lies about his motives in writing his column. He's morally bankrupt at best, pure evil at worst.
