This Pisses me off to no end. I have been diagnosed with “Extreme PTSD” and am also a MEDEVAC due to injuries sustained in Iraq. Being stationed where I am, was the result of these injuries sustained in OIF 3. I am a member of the Wounded Warrior BN located at a base in TX. PTSD is diagnosed for civilians who have been in vehicle accidents as well. In the military, soldiers are claiming PTSD in order to get a retirement. The Order of the Purple Heart was designed for physical injuries sustained in Combat. PTSD is a Disorder, not an injury. BTW, it has been over 2 years, and my PH still has not been processed of reviewed. I may or may not even get it, so I am writing this un-biased.
