"In my view, that’s easily as bad as a physical injury. It’s an odd distinction for the military to be making: harm somebody’s body in battle and that’s worth a medal. Harm their mind — the most important part of their body — and it’s “oh well, too bad, so sad, cry me a river.” No matter how I slice it, it just makes no sense."

My lovely bride of 21 years went home in June of 2004 because of cancer ... and let me tell you brother, I'm just as screwed up still.

Who do I sue .. what medal do I get?

And to put your argument away ... you're going to reply, "I'm truly sorry for your loss .. etc."

PTSD can be financed .. my grief can't be ... where's the justice?

Naturally, I am deeply sorry for your loss, as you have anticipated.

More than that, tho’, I am concerned at the thought of you having to carry around all of that grief — are you receiving any help or treatment for that?

PTSD can also kill, as can grief. And in that there is no Justice. All that we can do is help those who suffer to contend as best they can. One way of doing that is to acknowledge their suffering.
