be careful not to trivialize PTSD
Me trivialize? I'm former USMC arty, spent 13 months in combat on the DMZ. I've suffered PTSD from the first day I landed on Parris Island, let alone VN.
What do I get for it - not a damned thing - it came with deal when I enlisted.
And your assertion that "PTSD likely to have destroyed more lives than bullets" is absolute BS.
PTSD is just an excuse for bad behavior, bad choices and bad lifestyle. It's the military version of the race card.

you are sadly misinformed
