Thank you, unfortunately we know a lot of people in on this type of scam as well. It is not just military personnel claiming to be disabled by PTSD these days. I know people who were retiring who were not complaining about PTSD symptoms who were told they should so they could get extra money tacked onto their check.
I also have known people who have real problems who won't admit it and suffer in silence. I also know people with PTSD type symptoms who cause a lot of problems for themselves and their families by “self medicating” or just being nasty and sometimes violent a-holes.
You know a wide variety of Vets. I recall going to the VA in late 89 for help from two GSW’s plus my L5 was over my S1. I had over 50% combined from GSW’s, so; I could see anyone then. I just happened to see Vets so drugged up they did the thorazine shuffle. Sad. At least back then they needed a PH, CIB, CMB, combat action ribbon, or a valor award to qualify for PTSD.
