Post Fighter Pilot Traumatic Congressional Extortion Syndrome

One of the pieces of mitigating evidence turned into U.S. District Judge Larry Alan Burns for the sentencing of Duke Cunningham is a report by a Beverly Hills psychiatrist. From the San Diego Union Tribune:

There's a report from a Beverly Hills psychiatrist theorizing how the mental toughness and agility that made Cunningham a fighter ace might have instilled a false sense of entitlement and invulnerability that betrayed him in the end.

Well, I didn't know that Cunningham suffered from PFPTCES. It's amazing he only took $2.4 million.

Sentencing starts at 1pm Pacific time. I look for Cunningham to get the full ten years, but doubt he will serve it all.
