“In these wars, one doesn’t have to be in a combat position to be in danger.”

I realize that. Women are competent for most support roles but mixing men and women adds a lot of problems.

My point was that you don't have to be in a combat position to get a little shaken up in these particular wars.

While I have not had PTSD, I have certainly had brief spates of nightmares and minor distress resulting from some of the things I have experienced. And I am a strong, healthy individual. (And I'm not done with the war zones yet...MY choice.)

In fact, I believe that if people don't have some reaction to some of the things experienced in war, there may be something wrong with them.

Just sayin'.
