Doesn’t hurt that she gets to say “You’re a JAG OFFF…icer” twice on live t.v.

I haven’t seen the whole segment either but it seemed that she was pushing back on the general notion that a Major just by the virtue of the fact that they are a Major couldn’t possibly be suffering from PTSD. Regardless she rode that guy’s ass out royally. I have to tell you that Cliff Van Zant on MSNBC made me want to kick my TV in several times last night and this morning. These Jag Offs have no clue and I am just glad CNN had someone on to bring attention to that fact.

This guy sounds like he’s spent too much time watching the TV show JAG and thinks he’s a Top Gun

Here’s the full clip.

The full clip is even better as it shows just how quick the guy was using “He’s a Muslim” to point to the cause. Sadly this is the sort of guy that Hasan likely had to deal with for years…folks who blamed others religion for the violence.

“Damn, if we could just ‘convert them’….maybe they’d go away.”

Tom Kenniff’s CV: “As a former New York Assistant District Attorney and a former ARMY JAG, having served on active duty in Iraq, my experience in criminal law is both diverse and extensive. Unlike many “general practitioners” my practice is now devoted exclusively to defending those accused of criminal offenses. I have handled over a thousand criminal cases and tried dozens to verdict.”

Hmmm! Seems that he pleads out most of his cases.

” I appear regularly as a legal commentator on Fox News Channel and my cases have received national and international coverage.”

Lookeemee! I’m a celebrity!

” Yet, I believe what separates me most from other attorneys is the individual attention I give my clients and the compassion I show them. I take a special pride in often being the lone voice for individuals facing the powerful machinations of the criminal justice system. I take no greater pleasure than when a client who I represented during some of their most difficult days contacts me months or years later to tell me of the better times they now find themselves in.”

Yeah…he really show’d that sort of sympathy and restraint in giving his psychoanalysis of Hasan, didn’t he.

Right. She’s basically simply saying that being a psychiatrist for combat veterans is highly stressful by itself to one’s mental health. Which I don’t think is a particularly controversial notion (as long as it doesn’t overreach into the idea that a shrink can get PTSD by proxy from his PTSD-afflicted patients).

The PTSD theory was brought up by Kenniff to reject it, but neither McGraw nor Johnson suggested that it might be correct. They were just knocking down Kenniff’s other BS.

Regardless of what your stance is on what caused him to act so violently, one thing is clear; this strategy has brought PTSD and other mental illness’s that haunt our troops into the lime light.
