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.

Dayum, lady, read my stinkin' post.
I have no problem with those who suffered combat, but those who falsely claim the link lack any semblance of honor.
A cook on a cruiser who turns into an alcoholic and claims the same status as your husband is a cyst on the collective dick of humanity.
