I served overseas as well, served in a combat zone out in the field, and I suffer no forms of PTSD... Yet 2 guys that were in my unit (who were always in the rear for various excuses and profiles), seemed to suffer PTSD.

I think there are some valid cases, but others *fake* it to get benefits and less duty. And yes, I do agree to some point that it does have to do with some sort of toughness, whether mental or physical.

OMG, another issue for democrats to focus on

translation, more poppycock, another red herring nobody cares about and even less are impacted by

(and I know how liberals will distort my meaning, it's all they do non stop (case in point), it's Trump's words that are meaningless. I'm not talking about the illness

at the end of the day, that demographic will be voting for Trump by a 2-1 margin or so, they know where their support comes from

That's one person's opinion. Others disagree. This is the same man who thinks John McCain wasn't a war here because he was captured.

“He’s not a war hero,” Trump said last year, speaking about McCain. “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured."

Thats rich coming from a guy with 5 deferments...one for a sore foot.

PTSD has nothing to do with how tough you are. It's an actual chemical change in the brain. You can be the toughest military guy out there and still get PTSD. Some people can cope with it, some can't, but it's not a choice whether you get it or not. There's been so many studies done on it.

Um
Staff Sgt. Robichaux didn’t take Mr. Trump’s remarks as insulting — quite the contrary.
“I think it’s sickening that anyone would twist Mr. Trump’s comments to me in order to pursue a political agenda,” the staff sergeant said. “I took his comments to be thoughtful and understanding of the struggles many veterans have, and I believe he is committed to helping them.”

:):)

Biden was unhinged and responded to something Trump did not say. Of course you're clapping.

In other words, liberals need to stop joining the military.

Problem solved.

Except that Patton actually served and saw action outside of paintball.

since when does that matter to Democrats?

just like all other personal records, it only matters when they can keep people talking about stupid stuff
