Every combat vet has buddies who survived but never quite came home. But PTSD is now being worn like the neck brace recommended by your ambulance chasing lawyer by a lot of people. PTSD is not an automatic nor universal result of experiencing something unexpectedly exciting or hazardous.

The reaction of men to combat varies. Some men appear to like combat-(the natural warrior, a modern Achilles?)-note there are a number of men who volunteer to go back into combat when their first turn is finished.

I am simply doubtful of the reality of the vast number of PTSD claims-especially when compensation is being sought. Look how vague and objectively unverifiable the "symptoms" are.

My dad was a WWII Army Infantry combat veteran. Shell-
shocked all to h-e-double hockey sticks. Got up after the
war & got on with it the best he could. Nerves shot. - It
took me a long time to understand it. As Churchill once
said, “Never, never, never, never, never, never give up!”
