—”PTSD is real.”

Yes, it can be, a close friend died from it after surviving the loss of both legs below the knees.

That said I knew another that was most proud of faking it to collect a few dollars from the VA.
An Army truck driver that never left CONUS.

PTSD is real.

Maybe if they still called it "Shell Shock" they would have gotten the help they needed.
