Lance Corporal Danny McKee suffered post-traumatic stress
Lets not be stupid about things to the letter of the law this man committed a crime, but he is suffering from mental illness PTSD brought on from active service to his country as I am and many many thousands of other unfortunate human beings. Jailing this man is not the answer. Lets only hope that when he is in the prison system he gets some treatment for his PTSD, we can only hope. Surely an appropriate sentence could have been passed down where he was given a suspended sentence and put into immediate treatment and counselling. If he was a teenage drug dealer on his umpteenth crime he would have been sent on a skiing holiday or white water rafting in Colorado. In his defence as was mine , because he was a soldier he didn’t see any thing wrong with using a firearm, this might seem amazing to a civilian but its true, he would have picked up that gun like a postman picks up his letters ot a chef his ladle. this man needs help and I only hope he is going to get it? He is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to PTSD. We will see many more generations of young men and woman having theirs and their families lives ruined by this terrible all consuming condition. Do not punish this man any further HELP him and TREAT him do not discard him like an obsolete piece of military hardware.
