Marine Sniper Suffering PTSD Found in Snow After Two Days

ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — A former Marine sniper who suffers from panic attacks and fled on foot following a minor traffic accident in Oregon was found after two days in the snow.
Jason D. Cooper, 37, of Temecula, Calif., was found Wednesday in a remote wooded area lying on tree branches, trying to keep warm, Oregon State Police said.
He was taken to a Roseburg hospital and transferred to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland where nursing supervisor Phyllis Riggs said he’s listed in critical condition but stable condition and likely to be upgraded Friday.
Cooper had been driving Monday when he was involved in a low-speed rear-end collision on Highway138D, which runs through the Umpqua National Forest.
The other driver was surprised to see Cooper, wearing shorts and sandals, run off through the snow into the woods, The Oregonian reported Friday.
Police followed tracks through snow 2-feet deep but had to stop at dark.
They became more concerned when they discovered he has post-traumatic stress disorder and had run-ins with law enforcement.
“I found out that he had panic attacks during stressful situations and sometimes just had to run away,” said Sgt. Dave Randall, also an ex-Marine.
Randall and Senior Trooper Don Frerichs of the Fish and Wildlife Division returned to the crash scene and followed the tracks for more than five miles on snowmobiles.
When they came upon Cooper, obviously suffering from hypothermia, Randall addressed him as Staff Sgt. Cooper and asked him how he was doing.
“He asked me how I knew he was a Marine and I said, `Hey, a Marine always knows a fellow Marine.’ After that, we were fast friends.”
Cooper told the troopers that at one point he removed his sandals because the straps were cutting his feet. He walked several miles through deep, crusty snow in his bare feet until the ice slashed into his skin, so he put the sandals back on.
He told them that he was so cold he could not stand up. When Randall asked him if he was scared being out in the woods alone for two days, Cooper replied, “Of what?”
After Randall and Frerichs gave Cooper a sandwich and extra clothing, they bundled him onto a snowmobile and took him back to the highway.
“The amazing thing is he will not have any long-lasting effects from the hypothermia or frostbite,” Randall said. “He’s a tough, tough guy, physically and mentally tough. The real deal.”

Posted on February 11, 2012 at 9:57amAfter World War 1 and World War 2 PTSD was NOT a diagnosed problem. If you have ever heard the term ‘Shell Shock’ then we have the same problem. These soldiers are trained and brainwashed to go into battle – BUT no one ever thought to take those same men (and today women)and re-train them to deal with ‘civilian’ life.
Many of these veterans don‘t even know what is the matter with them and many civilians just treat them with a lot less respect and care than is ’humane’ making these guys and gals revert to their military training – even to the point of often becoming mercenaries.
Shell Shock and PTSD are VERY REAL problems – and its time that WE ALL recognize that they need VERY REAL CARE!!

Posted on February 11, 2012 at 11:04amMy brother returned from Viet Nam a ruined man. He was never the same after what he had to do over there. To take a young man and train him to kill, and then to have him actually participate in the killing of his fellow man, it does something to the mind and heart. The events are traumatic and creates huge scars on the inner person, his heart and mind. As a result, they cannot deal with it, cope with it, or accept it. We are just not made that way.

“Brainwashed” , really? You claim that troops have been brainwashed, yet offer no proof, if anyone can be brain washed, it means they had no brains in the first place.Maybe you need to take your “very senior” ass back to huffpo….
As for PTSD, it has been around since man started fighting man, people can be traumatized, differently, by different things, as some have stated, its how we treat those who suffer from it, and in America, we dont treat them at all, or at least not well……

Posted on February 11, 2012 at 12:57pmBoth of my Grandfathers served in WWII. One stormed Normandy, the other stormed Guadalcanal. They both had what would be classified as PTSD. Though they were better in their later years due to the passage of time, 40 and 50 years later you still never wanted to try and sneak up on them, or try to surprise them. You ESPECIALLY did not want to shake them awake from a nap.

Posted on February 11, 2012 at 7:05pmThere were plenty of cases of PTSD during WWII and Korea, even after both events there was slew of vets who had trouble coping with simple everyday activities. My dad suffered from PTSD after serving with a Marine Infantry battalion during the Korean War. The reason why you rarely heard about it was due to diagnosis problems and vets keeping quiet trying to live through the everyday suffering of the post war nightmare. In those days it was very embarrassing to seek mental health treatment; it was simply the period of time. Many vets kept their feelings under their breath and my dad was one of those who suffered quietly, but I can remember certain things my dad did that made me go Hmmmm? I am a retired Marine and due to a service connected disability I spend quite a bit of time at the VA domiciliary and I see veterans from all of the past conflicts who are inpatients from drug and alcohol abuse mostly from PTSD. The Dom holds over 1000 inpatient resident veterans and most have severe psychological problems. It is very depressing seeing a lot of these men and women who struggle with their sanity, but don’t know how to stop the demons in their head. To sum it up, vets from the WWII and Korea era kept to themselves because of the culture of society at that time. Today it is encouraged to expel those demons. I for one after Desert Storm and the recovery mission in Bangladesh needed professional help and I can say for sure that the treatment I received probably saved my life.

You are just being your usual moronic, trolling self. People who flee the scene of a minor car accident go home – in their car. Car accidents can trigger PTSD. This brave war hero clearly felt detached from his surroundings when he was found crippled by severe hypothermia in the snow. You are not a mental health physician, so you are not qualified to dispute a PTSD diagnosis. All you have is a big mouth and liberalmania.

It’s still you. No, he didn’t go home in his car, because he wasn’t acting with criminal intent to “flee the scene of the accident” except in your vacant brain. The accident triggered a panic attack, a concept you can’t grasp. Staff Sgt. Cooper didn’t “hide” for two days either. He would have kept on running until his brain recovered, but the snow slowed him down and eventually forced him to stop, causing severe hypothermia to set in. He survived only because he is tougher than all you libs and your wussy chief put together. There is no “next excuse.” You are the one braying nonsense here.
Why is it that libs can’t teach their trolls to read?

Lol, thanks for the laugh. I needed it after reading this story. Guess that piggish chick wants Shake Shack all to herself.

Posted on February 10, 2012 at 11:33pmNo SHAGSTAR, Sqautch is right for pointing out that the Blaze got it wrong – way wrong. WTF is PTST? This is a serious disorder and although it may be a typo, what, the Blaze can’t correct this?

Not another attack by the spelling NAZI.
And this coming from someone who actually thinks Bigfoot is real.
Amusing!

Posted on February 11, 2012 at 1:52amSQUATTCHER, BULLFROG, BRIAN: You shouldn‘t complain about typo’s, mispells, or anything else that has to do with errors at this site. The parents here protect their young at all costs. They would rather call you out than have anything bad said about thier child The Blaze. Sad huh? I wonder how they justify their offspring doing the same thing in their studies. Ignorance is bliss??
