ete Buttigieg told "Axios on HBO" that although he wasn't diagnosed with PTSD after returning from Afghanistan after a 7-month deployment in 2014, "there's a level of depression ... that I went through when I came back."
Why it matters: This is a new window into Buttigieg's unusual experience of serving as a 32-year-old, then returning to resume his job as mayor of South Bend, Indiana.......
Buttigieg told me the feeling lasted about a year, and that he never felt he needed medical treatment.

He didn’t claim PTSD.
A prior article said his job overseas was driving a general around. Did he see or participate in any combat?
Now I have to look up JAG officer.
Have any of his fellow officers weighed in? If not, Fox & Friends will probably interview them.
Clicked on the link - that’s 15 seconds of my life I’ll never get back...
You DO understand why I posted that link, don’t you????
Yes, I do. I see what you did there.
LOL
He was probably away from his ..... “partner”.
As somebody previously pointed out he is not a Judge Advocate General officer he was an intelligence officer...I guess in the same way Gary Hart was an intelligence officer.
That’s about right I would say. Gary Hart did the same thing but was not alone in taking the safe way out. Combat veterans include guys like Seth Moulton, Dan Crenshaw, Duncan Hunter and Tom Cotton.
