"Apparently he caught the PTSD while he was in some sort of terrorism orientation course."
Good post. The author is a sea-going, valor stealing, 100% phoney. Go figure.
My wife's cousin was on a navy ship in the South China Sea in the late 60s. Never set foot in VN, yet believes he's eligible for VA healthcare coverage due to Agent Orange exposure.

"I think it’s a mixture of psychology like you said, and a general wussification of our culture and especially the American male."And you're OK with that statement from JKeith3213? I dare anyone to call me a wuss after a 27 year career in the Marines and the things I've survived.

On the other hand, I have a friend who was in the Navy during Vietnam. He was in port during a large battle. Basically hiding behind shipping crates when the gunfire started. He doesn’t consider himself a Vietnam vet at all.
