That’s funny. Totally and completely wrong, of course...but funny.

It was just a joke, but leave it to the PC crowd to cry about it being “too mean”.

I didn't read it as a joke and I've never experienced it as as joke.

You don’t think the PD was really trying to encourage cops to induce PISD, do you?

"Our class president was ex-military. It slipped in."

Yeah, I sort of figured. Military humor is particularly mordant and does not always translate happily into civilian life, where the rules are different. The latter is, after all, what the military is serving to protect.

My own relations with Idaho state law enforcement agents have been without exception professional and admirable. (Even the guy who stopped me for speeding on the flimsy pretext that I was, uh, driving too fast... ;-) )

"Don't suffer from PTSD, go out and cause it."

can't wait till this psycho-macho-steroid-rambo-asshole sickness all comes to ahead.

News flash: The cops are not military! (Although, that seems to be the misconception these days.)

As an Idaho native, the answer would be yes...

Well, yes, I agree. That was my point, after all.

Look, folks, lighten up on the Idaho LEO's. They're (mostly, at least) great guys and I'm behind them. They're not all about playing Rambo. I'm usually the first to criticize the JBT's because they're real, but these guys ain't them.

Just macho gungho motivational speech IMO.

In all seriousness, years ago, I was the only person that survived a car accident and got the diagnosis.

I thought it was funny, but I’m an RN in a critical care area, so I guess I have the same warped sense of humor.
