PTSD Update 77:

A military widow from Yelm who contends the Army is not providing enough care for Soldiers returning from combat confronted former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to "vent" her feelings -- and got escorted out of the building where he was holding a book signing. Ashley Joppa-Hagemann's husband, Staff Sgt. Jared Hagemann, a father of two, was scheduled to be deployed to Afghanistan for a ninth time this month. He had been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder many years ago, and Joppa-Hagemann said that although they had asked for help, he never received any help. On 28 JUN he committed suicide. "In the end, all the horror and hell that my husband saw ... got to him," she said.

On 26 AUG, Joppa-Hagemann and friend Jorge Gonzalez decided to go to Joint Base Lewis McChord, where Rumsfeld was holding a book signing for his new book, ‗Known and Unknown: A Memoir.‘ "I just grabbed my husband's funeral program and handed it to him (Rumsfeld) and mentioned that my husband had joined the military because of 9-11 and recently took his life, and his name was Staff Sergeant Hagemann . He said, 'Oh I heard about that.' "He didn't say 'him' -- he says 'that,'" she said. After sharing her thoughts with Rumsfeld, she and Gonzalez were escorted out of the building. Joppa-Hagemann said the encounter may have been brief, but the impression it left upon her was lasting. "It's what my husband wanted to do, so I did it for him," she said. "I definitely don't plan on stopping or being quiet." JBLM confirmed that two people became disruptive at Rumsfeld's book signing last Friday and had to be escorted out. There are two investigations underway regarding Hagemann's death, and the 75th Ranger Regiment said that his widow's concerns will be addressed by those investigations. After her husband's death, Joppa-Hagemann teamed up with Gonzalez, an anti-war veteran, who manages "Coffee Strong," a local hangout that offers counseling and resources to troops. "We're trying to stop the deployment of traumatized troops, with PTSD, and TBI and military sexual trauma," Gonzalez said. Ashley

1. Contrary to his appearance

Mr. Rumsfeld is not really a human being, at least not in the sense most people are accustomed to thinking about human beings. He is an imp, a demon, a malfeasor straight from the bowels of Hell, skin still shiny from proximity to the everlasting flames and reeking of sulfur. He has waged a decades-long battle against humanity and has slipped away from responsibility every time for the death, mayhem and misery his actions have caused. Sometimes it's because he has been shielded by his cronies, other times because of misguided attempts to put things behind us and move on.

Secure in his disguise, Rumsfeld will continue to terrorize decent society, and train others in these dark arts. He is surrounded by circle upon circle of security, only occasionally being reminded of his sins. But he doesn't care. If any form of "justice" is to be visited upon this infernal being, it will take an herculean effort by persons and forces outside the power structure of the society that coddled and nursed Rumsfeld until he was on his own and developing his own acolytes.

We neglect the sins of our past at our own peril, as Mrs. Joppa-Habgemann has found out to her everlasting regret.

2. In a way I disagree. I think he is a homunculus created by some dark Repug Master Alchemist

The same one that made Cheney.
