Does one really have to see actual combat to go insane?

USAToday is claiming that the Fort Hood Shooter II saw no combat although he spent  several months in Iraq.  The killing in Iraq, between the two main sects; Shiite and Sunni ... has been ongoing from the start of the US invasion. Seeing human beings blown up into tiny pieces of meat and seeing such incidents on almost a daily basis... is not enough to drive one stark bonkers crazy?  
Why is the media not talking about the mental health issues, the constant suicides and the broken families of the veterans from the illegal war in Iraq and the useless war in Afghanistan? 

Also, I am still waiting for the eventual and inevitable disclosure that the shooter  Ivan Lopez was a convert to islam or had a tonne of sympathy for Iraqis and islam.  Couple that with the guilt one feels for what one's country is doing to innocents abroad .... and what do you get?  You either get people like moi who rave and rant online, ineffectively, I might add ... or you get someone like Ivan Lopez or the Muslim homegrown jihadis who want to just die and get it over with  ... but only after they have taken others with them.  
Bottom Line:  Let's not give the hypocrites in office a pass.  If not for the illegal wars America has been going into after the only legal WW2, the world would have had much less hatred to go around. The "legal" and "right" action after 9/11 should have been the bombardment  of the meteor wedged in Mecca and at least a few missiles dropped on Riyadh.   

Dr Stuart Jeanne Bramhall  writing at VeteransToday:
The psychedelic drug ibogaine  is used to treat drug addiction and alcoholism in more than 190 countries, including Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, New Zealand, Russia, China and Ukraine. Sixty years of research has demonstrated ibogaine’s effectiveness in opiate, cocaine, amphetamine, nicotine and alcohol dependency, as well as treatment resistant post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Yet owing to the ludicrous and ineffectual “War on Drugs,” ibogaine remains illegal in the US.

It’s an issue of special relevance to veterans, who suffer a high rate of combat-related post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and addiction disorders. Twenty percent of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans develop PTSD or depression, with 22 a day, on average, committing suicide. Veterans wounded in Middle East conflicts have a 25-35% chance of becoming addicted to prescription opiates.

Conventional treatment for these disorders is associated with a high failure rate, translating into long term disability and suffering for many vets. International peer reviewed research shows that addicts treated with ibogaine have lower relapse rates than those receiving conventional treatment. Yet thanks to the federal government’s absolute ban on so-called “hallucinogenic” drugs, veterans wanting help for treatment resistant addiction disorders and PTSD must seek out private igobaine clinics in Mexico, Canada and Costa Rica.

Researcher Thomas Kingsley Brown summarizes ibogaine’s history in “Ibogaine in the Treatment of Substance Dependence” in 2013, 6, 2-16 Current Drug Abuse Reviews, 2013, 6, 2-16
Extracted for the West African iboga plant, ibogaine’s benefit in opiate addiction was first discovered in 1962 by a heroin addict named Howard Lotsof. Lotsoft was amazed that it totally blocked any symptoms of heroin withdrawal. Like other addicts who have taken it, he experienced no hallucinations. He has described the effect, which lasted approximately 36 hours, as a “waking dream.”.....
