No claim that it is the case here but people change after combat. PTSB is very real.

“PTSB is very real.”

Unless he’s been diagnosed, am leaning more towards this claim being an excuse to garner sympathy. But you’re absolutely correct. PTSD is a serious issue and for many on FR to poo poo it shows how little many truly care about our serivcemen and women. The only good story involving our wounded for them is the photo op when they get their purple heart. After that its bad publicity for Dubya and needs to be brushed aside.

1.3 million have served in Iraq or Afghanistan. 121 murders over 4 years. Do the math: You’re more likely to be killed by a college student.
