Conservative radio host Michael Savage accused those who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression, including military veterans, of being "weak," "narcissistic," "losers." Savage added that "we're being laughed at around the world. No wonder ISIS can defeat our military."

As Right Wing Watch's Brian Tashman documented, Savage began an October 14 segment by complaining about a plan to rename a San Francisco tunnel after the late comedian Robin Williams. Savage called Williams "a depressed clown who was so selfish he choked himself to death with a belt." He added: "What is this sick, backwards area I live in?"

After getting into a heated argument with a caller who said he suffered from PTSD while in the military, Savage went on an unhinged rant in which he explained why he is "so sick and tired of everyone with their complaints about PTSD, depression":

SAVAGE: I am so sick and tired of everyone with their complaints about PTSD, depression. Everyone wants their hand held, and a check -- a government check. What are you, the only generation that had PTSD? The only generation that's depressed? I'm sick of it. I can't take the celebration of weakness and depression.

Yeah, Mikey "Savage" Weiner, the guy who sat out Vietnam so that he could go skinny dipping, do drugs and pursue a failed attempt to be Allen Ginsberg's groupie, is really in a position to lecture the troops on their service.

BTW, remember when Weiner's network, Cumulus Media, banned the Dixie Chicks for mildly criticizing Dubya? I mean, they just had to do that for the morale of our troops and all.

Surely, they'll be consistent and take the same steps with Weiner, right?
