While I have not had PTSD, I have certainly had brief spates of nightmares and minor distress resulting from some of the things I have experienced. And I am a strong, healthy individual. (And I'm not done with the war zones yet...MY choice.)
In fact, I believe that if people don't have some reaction to some of the things experienced in war, there may be something wrong with them.
Just sayin'.
“My point was that you don’t have to be in a combat position to get a little shaken up in these particular wars. “
True, but women should not be in those positions likely to face combat. Most especially with muslims as our enemy.
“In fact, I believe that if people don’t have some reaction to some of the things experienced in war, there may be something wrong with them.”
When war quits being terrible then we are in trouble.
