Larebil, please read this post and see if it helps you to understand any of it.
“Since its creation, PTSD has been used —not only by scummy lawyers, but by Leftists to try to defame our military veterans, a la the latest NYT article claiming that Iraq veterans are more likely to commit vicious crimes when they come home.”
Now that is a steaming pile of BS.
True PTSD is for instance someone kidnapped and locked in a dark room for hours or days, then when rescued they fear being in a dark room.
Liberals are talented BS artists. Since it is a NYT article, I automatically see it as lies and rubbish.
