PTSD can take many forms. I agree that most who return are not dangerous. Those that are usually have some underlying condition that PTSD makes worse
I avoided PTSD after flying helicopters in Vietnam. In fact, did a lot of growing up over there. But the guys who would hit the ceiling if a paper bag was popped, they were all former grunts. I respect those guys like no other.
Decades later, sudden sharp noises make me freak out for an instant. But the worst part about PTSD now is that a diagnosis for VA disability may result in confiscation of a vet’s guns. It’s not urban legend, it’s true!
I had coworkers urge me to fill out VA forms the right way for PTSD and start collecting bucks. No way, Jose.
