O’bummer changed the criteria for PTSD so that combat exposure is no longer required. This is why the VA has had the huge back log in approvals for disability.

You can now get PTSD from sexual harassment. Or because your commander spoke to you in a rough tone of voice!!!!

PTSD is the new ADD or ADHD.

“PTSD is the new ADD or ADHD.”

Exactly. I knew a young Air Force vet who was totally nuts. I figured the USAF recruiter must have needed to fill his monthly quota and pushed him through because he had no business being in ANY branch of the military. He spent a grand total of 14 months at the GPS Satellite facility in Colorado Springs and was medically discharged with a 100% service-connected disability that included PTSD. I never realized that Colorado Springs was a combat zone. Meanwhile, people who have REAL mental and physical injuries have to wait for the VA to get off their dead arses to get taken care of.
