“If Ian David Long was diagnosed with PTSD,...”
I despise them bringing this up in the context of veterans. War is horrific and no one exposed to it’s details is immune. However, there are hundreds of other ways for people to experience PTSD not related to war. Practically no one gets through life without it to a greater or lesser degree.
You are right. I have very specific PTSD myself, in hospital and clinic settings where some procedure must be done. I didn’t know until recently that I have the red hair gene and that I genetically need more anesthetic. So I now make sure everyone knows because I find myself VERY ANXIOUS about feeling the knives, having felt them too many times. Seppukku is not pleasant.
Your right. Vets are less likely to be crimnals. They don’t want that to upset their ptsd narrative.
Think of it this way ...
The horrors of war can warp even the strongest minds into the hell of PTSD. God bless our Wounded Warriors!
But how susceptible to PTSD are the “snowflakes” that are half-way warped already? Those little dumplings are ENRAGED by anything so how are they going to avoid the ravages of PTSD from daily events like driving or child raising? Poor little things. Drugs, maybe?
