Decker Case Exposes Army, Sandy Hook Lawyer, and Untouchable Psych Vendors

Decker Case Exposes Army, Sandy Hook Lawyer, and Untouchable Psych Vendors

Republished with permission from AbleChild

It’s been more than a week, and the manhunt continues for the former Army veteran, Travis Decker, who allegedly murdered his three young daughters on May 30th at a campsite in Leavenworth Washington. Of course, the burning question is why this loving father would kill his cherished children and, given the information about Decker’s mental health, one cannot rule out that psychiatric drugs may have played a significant role in this tragedy.

While law enforcement has provided surprisingly few personal details about the alleged murderer, those close to Decker have a great deal to say about the former Paratrooper’s mental health problems that reportedly began while he was serving in active duty with the US Army.

Several news reports have Decker “struggling to maintain stability,” “prone to outbursts,” “clearly had some sort of break and everything that he had been living with, everything that had been bottled up inside of him for so long as far as trauma, just won out,” and “he just really suffered from some self-worth issues as far as having the mental issues that he had, seeing the combat that he saw, and then feeling like he wasn’t worthy of his wife and children.”

What were Decker’s “mental issues?” Well, despite all the talk about Decker’s mental health, any specific information has yet to be made public short of a diagnosis. According to several sources, Decker suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder. Those are psychiatric diagnoses and often are “treated” with serious mind-altering drugs.

When, and at what military facility, was Decker diagnosed? Decker reportedly joined the Army in 2012, served a tour in Afghanistan, by 2017 had been removed from the elite Ranger Regiment, joined the 173rd Airborne Brigade but by 2021 had transferred out of active duty to the Washington Army National Guard where he became a sergeant.

It is of some interest that apparently Decker had stopped attending mandatory monthly drills more than a year ago and the Guard was “in the process” of a disciplinary discharge. It is also during this time that Decker and wife Whitney divorced, and Decker was supposed to seek mental health treatment and anger management counseling as part of the parenting plan.

So, what took the military so long to think about taking disciplinary action? And family courts don’t suggest mental health treatment and anger management counseling. Those are actions that are ordered by the court.  Did the Army National Guard and the family court let Decker fall through the cracks? Why? But more importantly, Did Decker arrive at the Washington Army National Guard with a mental health “treatment” plan? Did the US Army diagnose Decker and prescribe psychiatric medications on his way out the door?

These are questions that must be answered. His ex-wife believes Decker was not taking any medications. That may be the case, but the question is: had her ex-husband been prescribed the medications much earlier in his military career, perhaps upon his return from Afghanistan? Did Decker withhold this information from his wife and family? Was Decker receiving a disability check for his mental health issues? If yes, he most certainly was receiving some form of “treatment.” Unfortunately, the military relies on “treatments” that usually is in the form of mind-altering drugs.

In fact, the Lewiston, Maine shooter, Robert Card comes to mind when considering Decker’s behavior. Recall that Card killed 18 and wounded 13 others in October of 2023. Like Decker, Card was a weekend warrior and had suffered from anger issues that had command order Card to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation. Card was diagnosed and prescribed medications, which investigators still refuse to make public.

The families of those killed and wounded by Card are suing the US Army for Card’s deadly actions. It’s of interest, too, that the law firm (Koskoff) taking the Card case also represented the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. The information about what psychiatric drugs the alleged Sandy Hook shooter, Adam Lanza, may have been prescribed has never been made public. Knowing that the same law firm represents those harmed in the Card case does not bode well for any hope of having Card’s drug regime released.

Additionally, one can only wonder why the families of the dead and wounded in the Card case are not suing the medical contractors in this case. After all, Card was sent to a civilian hospital that had a contract with the US army. Why are behavioral health contractors exempt from responsibility? The financial incentive for behavioral health contractors is tremendously lucrative, yet they seem to continually escape scrutiny.

Anyway, while the manhunt continues on the ground in the Washington mountains there seems to be many questions that have yet to be answered closer to home by not only the US Army and Washington state family courts but also the behavioral health specialists who worked with Decker.

  1. I am picking the tiniest piece of mest off of the bone, but when did it become so common for writers to use the word regime, for the word regimen. It takes only one more letter to use the correct word.

  2. I dont think they will find this tortured soul alive. more tragedy and another family riped apart by our benevolent govt ,who treat our vets like guinea pigs.

  3. Everyone know that the Sandy Hook hoax is Alex Jones fault and he is the only one e to pay for the crimes. It’s called good ol American Just-Us.

    • Your problem is you have been fudge-packed too many times resulting in a severe case of verbal diarrhea dick breath.

  4. No one died at Sandy Hook. According to the official narrative, there would have been 400+ surviving children, but no children are visible on the police cruiser dashcam video of a cruiser parked facing across the parking lot across which any evacuation would’ve taken place. Also no children visible on the TV news helicopter video. Where did they all go?

    • And why were the parking lot ADA markings 9 years out of date? Why were 30 mortgages paid off on the same day? Why was a child who was allegedly ‘murdered’ in a family photo with Obama? Why couldn’t they decide where the principal was embalmed, or buried? Why were all the classrooms full of junk with out of date calenders? Etc, etc…

  5. Clueless writer…”Weekend Warrior” in place of Reservist… I know many “Reservist” who pulled more tours than active duty personnel…Definitely not “Weekend Warriors”. I myself was one of them… I had over 20 years of active duty and another 13 in Reserve status… While in Reserve status I served 3 tours overseas during OEF and OIF campaigns.

    • So I am not alone in revulsion over this “weekend warrior” bullshit. Thank you! This moron author has no clue. Guard and Reserve carried a heavy load in OEF/OIF as well as global operational sustainment since. The “Weekend Warrior” moniker went out a long time ago and it is insulting to those serving in the Guard and Reserve. But, when you sit at a keyboard all day, I guess you feel compelled to cowboy up and insult a few hundred thousand people that are actually getting it done.

  6. “Decker suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder. Those are psychiatric diagnoses and often are “treated” with serious mind-altering drugs.”

    Neither of these mental disorders necessitate the use of heavy medications. In fact, Borderline Personality Disorder is not treated with medication at all, while the approach to treating PTSD varies—some doctors choose to prescribe medication, while others do not.

  7. Only those like you believe the lie that Alex Jones did something wrong with reporting the events at sandy hook elementary school.

  8. Hummmm….not doubting mental illness, but the claim he didn’t feel worthy of wife and kids, then he murdered the kids instead of himself …well, that doesn’t pass the smell test.

    • Why are divorce judge actions usually the predecessor of these cases? and usually the cause! Divorce courts are the weapons of mass destruction.

  9. WRONG. It’s bigPharma and the lucrative SSRI market. They spend millions to maintain silence thru legisTRAITORS and BARfly LIEyers.

      • It’s the military that knows everything about the initial actions that caused treatment…the full extent of all the treatment including how much of what/when/why…and then sets them loose on the public and their families with ZERO warning. Worse than just no warning, they refuse all cooperation to keep it from happening again, just like what they’re doing right now. Big pharma is just one part. The military pumps fighters full of all kinds of substances before combat deployment, then cold turkey. Combat vets commit suicide in massive numbers, I hope I’m wrong but I think something like 1,000 per week. Someone has to do something seriously crazy before being referred. Then after being examined a doctor tells them how much to take of what. NOW big pharma comes in. When something goes wrong ALL of them refuse to help.

    • The volume and layers of deception from Sandy Hook still make my head spin.
      But when state troopers and feds were ordered to persecute and harass anyone
      who dared question the story…well only time will tell whether there will be justice
      in this life or some time or place down the line. I only know that every single soul
      who took part in it will carry that stench into that next place and beyond. As someone
      recently said, “Karma is NOT a bitch, it is a relentless machine who’s soul purpose
      is to balance all action according to Universal Law”

  18. If the Sandy Hoax lawyers are involved, there’s a strong possibility that this might just be another fictitious story. Just because one sees a story in the news doesn’t mean it actually happened.
