Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s military superiors repeatedly ignored or rebuffed his efforts to open criminal prosecutions of soldiers he claimed had confessed to “war crimes” during psychiatric counseling, according to investigative reports circulated among federal law enforcement officials.

That idea of opening “war crimes” investigations against US soldiers based on information from the “psychiatric counseling” would be a real boon to PTSD. In fact, it wold institutionalize it by destroying any semblance of “doctor-patient confidentiality.”
If the military had acted, they might have started by discharging Hasan, since no soldier in his right (or nearly right) mind would seek counseling from a military psychiatrist who could possibly turn into prosecution witness. This does though transform the ridiculous “second-hand PTSD” argument into a “crisis of conscience” argument for the Hasan defenders, but this is supposed to be handled by the professional training of a psychiatrist. Every psychiatrist knows that often their patients believe that they did something that an examination of the facts shows was not the case. They may have had part of the truth, but filled in the rest of the “facts” from thie imagination. Hasan obviously took the rantings of his patients too personally.
No matter what happens now, Hasan is unfit to be a psychiatrist.
