A wounded veteran is sounding off on a study that found some students are exhibiting symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder following the 2016 election.

The study, which was released Monday by the Journal of American College Health, evaluated 769 students at Arizona State University studying psychology in January and February 2017. About 25 percent of respondents reported symptoms of PTSD because Donald Trump won the election.

“What we were interested in seeing was, did the election for some people constitute a traumatic experience? And we found that it did for 25 percent of young adults,” said lead author Melissa Hagan, an assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University.

And another 25% suffer from PTSD for being called precious snowflakes.

This article really offensive and demeaning to our Vets who truly have this.

Seems like every damn hour of every damn day now, the rat party ups the ante on their hatred of America. They are vile. The whole lot.

Make a special draft lottery - just for them. Next stop - Army Infantry Recruit Depot. Special 18 week boot camp. Just make them do push-ups until they die

I would guess this is a fake story. One libtard university studied. Of course 100% of hah-vard would have ptsd.

As part of its life, a Monarch butterfly goes through the struggle of escaping from its chrysalis. In the process, its internal pressure rises sufficiently to expand and straighten its wings. It becomes an adult.

If you try to help it escape, the pressure never rises. The wings never straighten. It becomes permanently crippled.

The best thing we can do for these coddled youths is to ignore them. They will punish themselves by circumstances created by the bad choices they make. They will either grow up and deal with reality, or they will continue crippled throughout their lives.

Their choice.

Steady old man. Methinks her boyfriend has one too. No way she doesn’t attract a guy or two. 🤔

Maybe they are all Heaven’s Gate believers and have already castrated themselves. Or, they have accomplished the same thing mentally.
