I can assure you that as an NPS retiree, this incident really hit home. I am heartsick. I do think it is way too soon to stereotype about "survivalist" and "PTSD" until more is known. If necessary, I certainly hope more meaningful care will be rendered to veterans.

This lady is not the first ranger to die in the line of duty, nor will she be the last. It isn't always fun and games out there in the pines and crags.
