He was a machine gunner throughout that time I understand....that’s enough to give anyone PTSD if not given relief and handled rightly when assigned.
I'm not sure what this means. How does being a machine gunner give PTSD? An m1a1 gunner then must get mega PTSD with the cannon ? I know of no relief, handling that gives any pre mental PTSD support when being assigned to a unit or unit hardware position. From what I understand, PTSD is a condition some suffer AFTER being involved in a traumatic situation. I don't think the type of weapon assigned is enough to be considered a traumatic incident. IMO anyway.
