Lee County, Fla - A retired marine in Lee County has made it his mission to provide mental health care to U.S. troops free of charge.

Gunman, Maj. Nidal Hasan was trained to help people in need -- soldiers in high stress situations, but when retired marine John Bunch learned the professional was the shooter, he wasn't surprised.

"I'm never surprised at things that happen like this," Bunch says. "I'm not sure how much our mental health specialists can take without seeking mental health care themselves."

Especially, he says, in the military. The fishing charter captain created Operation Open Arms to give soldiers a little R&R, but he soon noticed a new battle brewing back home -- soldiers fighting post traumatic stress disorder and not getting the help they need. Bunch then rallied his own troops.

"There's no co-pay, there's no deductible, we have 21 licensed, mental health pros that do this pro-bono," Bunch says.

A source told the Associated Press that the Army had concerns about Hasan and reviewed internet postings.

"It seems like there was one red flag after another that was ignored," Bunch says.

Bunch questions the Army's checks and balances and believes multiple deployments are taking a toll on today's soldier.

"Everything we do involving PTSD is completely confidential and private," Bunch says. "It's why it's so successful and why troops seek therapy through Operation Open Arms. There's no stigma attached to it."
