From our comments, regarding the Fort Hood shooting: "People who make psych diagnoses based on news articles and tv segments are indeed idiots. People who make racist statements are indeed racists. That understood, let's not deny the reality of secondary trauma and PTSD-related violence. Secondary trauma is a genuine phenomenon that occurs with counselors and psychologists who work with other people who have experienced primary trauma…. Counselors on the GI Rights Hotline-877-447-4487—assist people in the military to obtain their rights, including the right to obtain discharge and to have accurate information about the consequences of going AWOL and UA. These counselors often experience secondary trauma related to this work…. It is literally criminal that there is inadequate care for people in the military who have PTSD, that people in the military with PTSD may be harassed and otherwise discouraged from obtaining treatment,and that this condition is often misdiagnosed-sometimes intentionally to avoid giving pensions to people with PTSD." 13
