Everything is Palin's fault, didn'cha know it?!? Before Obama was even elected.
The mess at the VA is Obama's fault.Sarah Palin, A Truly Awful Mother Blames PTSD For Son's Abusive Behaviour
She and Trump make a great pair!
Without regard to Palin or her family, you're entire wrong to complain that the man never served in combat in terms of challenging him having PTSD. It is a horrible and damaging stereotype to think of PTSD as a "war" illness. It's not Post Combat Disorder. It's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I have PTSD. I was never in combat. But I've had experiences which I won't even bother getting into. I now deal with PTSD. And the truth is that it can be an extremely difficult condition to live with. I don't think there will ever be a point in my life when I'll be able to say that I've overcome it. I'm always going to struggle with the potential for certain triggers to launch men into flashbacks. I'm always going to be asking people to forgive certain eccentricities when I have to struggle to remove myself from certain types of stressers that send me into a panicked state of mind.
Treating PTSD as if it's nothing more than a combat illness is just as harmful as any other means of stigmatizing mental illness.
Understood and appreciated. So was your PTSD Obama's fault as Sarah asserted?
EVERYTHING IS OBAMA'S FAULT! Didn't you know it?
I am pretty sure that the 7.1 earthquake in Alaska was Obama's fault. Sarah should make that proclamation soon!
