Judge ruled right on soldier’s case
I almost had a shouting spell as I praised the Lord for Chancellor Jeffrey Atherton’s decision in ordering the city of Chattanooga to give Mickel Hoback the job back as a police officer with back pay.
This former police officer, who was named “Officer of the Year” in 2007, was fired in 2009 for having post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of his combat duties in Iraq.
This officer was being treated, voluntarily, for more than two years for his condition, in contrast to most victims of PTSD, who self-medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol without seeking any counseling.
I recently did a lot of research in regard to victims of PTSD, and I learned that if they were also a victim of arrested development as a child, then they become highly suicidal, which we can clearly see is happening today.
