Or PTSD...
I find it quite coincidental that the rate of PTSD went through the roof right after it was declared part of the disability compensation.
(And yes. I personally know of one soldier who faked PTSD to get more money. Never saw combat. The worst WAR-RELATED thing that ever happened to him was the last episode of M.A.S.H. The problem is that he’s required to get care for it and the meds really did screw him up. He was a normal man before that. Now he’s a mess.)
There are cases of faked PTSD, but there are plenty of people that really have it. Two of my friends have PTSD. Not debilitating, but slightly self destructive. Both went through difficult phases. Do they deserve compensation for it? I don’t know, but they need more help than a designated driver keeping them out of trouble.
