"....PTSD is a scam."
Ahhhh...a voice of reason, up to a point.
While I believe it, in the form formerly known as shell shock, surely exists, it is rare and massively abused.
I was a shipboard sailor in the 60's, my son spent 14 years on boomers, and we would consider it dishonorable to claim PTSD for ANY problems we might have.
Those who claim it as an excuse for other ills make a mockery of those who actually suffered for our country.
Maybe like being 19 and the only guy from your infantry unit that lived? Is that OK? or is he making it up? How about a mortar going off next to you head that scrambled your head? You know my husband lived for over 40 years not knowing what the hell was wrong with him. He could have blown his brains out at any time. But that would have been OK because PTSD does not exist! Plus the little bit of money he gets for it could have been given to welfare whores instead.
