Post-traumatic stress disorder can be a tricky thing.
For 1st Lt. Lynn âBuckâ CompÂton in the seventh episode of the TV miniseries Band of Brothers, almost nonstop aerial bombing on their position for several days near the end of the war led him to snap. Suffering from what was known then as war fatigue, he had to be removed from the battlefield and sent home.
His commanding officer at the time, Maj. Dick Winters, later would say the constant stress of war had led to Comptonâs and othersâ breaking points. Some of the soldiers of Easy Company would suffer from PTSD several years after.
The wife of the 76-year-old Harker Heights man accused of two counts of arson said her husband had started to show early signs of dementia before his arrest last year.
Willie Williams was indicted March 17 on two counts of arson of a building after police said he started at least two fires in Nolanville last year. Last week, his case was heard remotely in the 264th Judicial District Court after his defense attorney requested that he be released on a personal recognizance bond.
After hearing from Williamsâ wife and arguments from attorneys, Judge Paul LePak on Thursday ordered that Williams have a personal recognizance bond interview and that if released, he is to wear a GPS monitor, obey a curfew and get a mental health evaluation.
