Here is one more e-mail about PTSD and the Hasan shooting. Sorry I'm so tardy posting it, but I recommend reading the blog post that's linked in the e-mail (warning: salty language).

You have nightmares that go on for weeks. Mine would always be the same. Wherever the window was in the room in which I was sleeping I would see a bright white flash. I would wake up screaming...

Via Sarah: One of Hasan's commanding officers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Lieutenant Colonel Melanie Guerrero, told investigators she had considered failing him as an intern but "decided to allow him to pass since he was going into psychiatry and would not be doing any real patient care."
