Cooper<\/a>, a marine combat veteran who suffered from PTSD and fled the scene of a minor car accident into the snowy Oregon country side.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[OR State Police Officer Sgt. Dave Randall] and Senior Trooper Don Frerichs of the Fish and Wildlife Division returned to the crash scene and followed the tracks for more than five miles on snowmobiles.<\/p>\n<p>When they came upon Cooper, obviously suffering from hypothermia, Randall addressed him as Staff Sgt. Cooper and asked him how he was doing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He asked me how I knew he was a Marine and I said, `Hey, a Marine always knows a fellow Marine.&#8217; After that, we were fast friends.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the report, Cooper will be fine after suffering from a bit of frostbite and hypothermia.<\/p>\n<p>Now compare that PTSD to this case of former Granby Police Capt. David Bourque who was arrested for possessing thousands of child pr0n media;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In court papers filed Wednesday, Richard Brown, an attorney for Bourque, had argued for a lighter sentence based on an evaluation by a psychologist that concluded Bourque suffered PTSD, affecting his judgment. Brown said it did not excuse Bourque&#8217;s conduct, but could be taken into account by a judge when he is sentenced on Friday.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>See the difference? In the first case, PTSD was the REASON SSG Cooper has a problem, in the second, PTSD was an EXCUSE for Bourque&#8217;s problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of you sent us this link to the story of Jason D.
