Yeah, this guy was a real piece of work. Yet another PTSD case gone untreated. As far as I’m concerned PTSD comes from lack of training and lack of mental fortitude. Pysch tests need to be better or put ‘em through Ranger training and if they last more than two days they’re clear. LOL

Only the strong survive to live with PTSD. Some can’t take it at all and commit suicide. The rest type about it.
For some people, it's the result of brain trauma due to the shock wave from explosions going off nearby. It's the adult version of shaken baby syndrome - most adults don't die but they suffer permanent neural damage. It wouldn't surprise me if brain trauma due to repeated hits on the field were why we keep hearing of ex-football players getting in trouble, but nowhere near as many ex-basketball players.
Then you know very little of PTSD......
I play softball with a guy who is dealing with the effects of agent orange as well as "anger management issues" directly related to his diagnosis of PTSD. He is still receiving counseling thru the VA here in Detroit.
He had been shot twice during two tours in Vietnam as a marine, and participated in the battle for the Saigon embassy during the Tet Offensive in 1968. Here's what that was all about:
That wouldn't explain the well-trained, very tough guys I've served with who were diagnosed with PTSD. You really don't know who it's going to affect or how acutely.
