Note: I have deliberately retained the original punctuation, grammatical mistakes and coarse language in this post. It is part and parcel of the message. THIS is the truth!

My heart goes out to this man and I agree about the casual use of terms such as PTSD. We are truly butchering our ability to communicate with precision when we allow the media and others to water down what the true meaning is for certain things.

My uncle has PTSD - he was a green beret who fought in the early portion of Viet Nam - now in his 70s’s he suffers many health probs from Agent Orange plus the PTSD. He actually was strangling my aunt (his wife) once in his sleep and that was the beginning of separate bedrooms. He is the greatest guy and I love him dearly - it is an insult to his service and the high cost he paid to associate that scumbag at Hood with anything other than what he plainly is - an evil man with an evil ideology.

To say this guy has PTSD is an absolute slap in the face for every caregiver and every wounded warrior who ever set foot on Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

And everyone in the media said, "Mission accomplished."

If you can get PTSD from treating soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center then why the hell haven’t more people snapped? Why haven’t all the therapists in physical therapy and occupational therapy, and all the staff on Ward 57 ran around shooting up the place?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Exactly!

How many ICU, emergency room, or burn unit nurses or doctors have shot up a hoard of innocent people? Hm?..Never

Thanks for posting this. God Bless this dear man.

I actually read it all and did not mind the punctuation. This man said it from the heart and can be excused from anything he does.

He spoke the truth.
