You ever seen a chopper shot down and men burned to hell, and; pinned under it? Have you ever been in combat? I mean fired a rifle or machine gun at enemy troops or are you trying to justify Coast Guard for PTSD?
The old rules going back to WWII were right. How many dogs did they WWII vets bring in public unless BLIND?

I have seen significant PTSD in horrific situions, like WTC, accident clean up, air disaster survival/clean up, war experiences, torture, and profound sexual abuse which is a form of torture.
No I have never been in a war. It is one of the hardest things.
And no, I do not think people need emotional support animals on airplanes.

You’ve say you have seen all this PTSD in multiple areas. Are you a psychiatrist or PHD psychologist?
WWII and Korea War vets called it “shell shock” as 200-300 rounds of incoming 3-4 days a week will work on ones nerves and stomach.
