Military misconduct may be sign of PTSD - Washington Times

In 2007, a high-ranking Navy doctor sent a sobering warning to colleagues:
The service may be discharging soldiers for misconduct when in fact they are
merely displaying symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.

"Post-deployment misconduct, especially in a Marine who has previously
served honorably, may indicate an unrecognized and unhealed line-of-duty stress
injury that deserves expeditious medical evaluation and, when indicated,
appropriate treatment," said the memo, a copy of which was obtained by The
Washington Times.
