Labeling soldiers has a better effect than spitting on them.
It's more of the same liberal hate.
Why are you so eager to trivialize wounded soldiers to lamely promote your political agenda? A topic comes up by a poster with a genuine desire to learn about a problem faced by our returning veterans and reachs out for information that could lead to how the poster and those who read this thread might understand and perhaps be helpful to our veterans and you find the need to hijack it into a selfish opportunity to remind everyone of how you hate liberals. Like that is important. Your opinion is so important that you are willing to mislead people on such a serious subject shows a complete lack of decency, and shame on you. Shame on you sir.
**** of dick wad.
It's a fake condition.
Veterans don't need dumbass civvies telling them they have a mental condition that has no diagnostic tool, has no way to be measured and no specific symptoms.
The whole PTSD industry is a liberal one and relates only to the hate liberals have for veterans.
How often have vile liberals dismissed opposing views of veterans by sneering and saying things like " sounds like PTSD "?
Of course it is also a handy trick for a gun grab !!
Just declare all vets to have PTSD, grab their guns.
A liberals curiosity is never with the intent to help, only to further an agenda.
Dear Pauli: I think you are talking about two different contexts.
(Like talking about the REAL green vote/movement and what the "Democrats/Liberals" bought and sold as carbon credits and passing corporations off as green for money etc.)
Those are two different things, and you are BOTH RIGHT.
There is a REAL PTSD and there is this abuse of labels to achieve political ends.
it happened with buying/selling the black vote, green vote, pink vote, anti war vote
and now the singlepayer vote was bought and sold as corporate political garbage.
This doesn't discredit the real thing that got HIJACKED.
So there is REAL PTSD
"in addition" to what you are talking about
You're both right!
* I even got it from a 1 day incident of watching a group of people
harassed by federal marshals with the media making a public spectacle though the eviction technically by law violated their rights, it was pushed as valid because govt was behind it.
* more recently I got it after spending 24 hours in a botched hurricane evacuation
where afterwards I went numb, jumped at the sound of any noise louder than a pin drop,
and couldn't look at people because I'd seen crowds and crowds of them and just absorbed too much emotional panic and hysteria (the silent type). It took months to return to normal.
And I work with Democrats trying to clean up the denial and damage going on. So I have seen the politicians buy and sell the minority votes, take millions of dollars away from community programs, and use that to buy big interests that can get them into office. After hijacking the Black vote, and the women's vote, they went after the anti-war and green vote, and now they are pimping the health care vote. All all these groups are complaining they go against their promises, so they have to do all the work themselves anyway!
I worry that this "denial syndrome "is something else. Either Bystander syndrome or Stockholm syndrome. Where people justify going along with it instead of confronting it. I think that is more dangerous. At least with PTSD there's recognition something is wrong.
Pauli what you are talking about IS really going on, but that is the political hijacking part.
That doesn't discredit the very real cases of PTSD and treatment.
Falsely claiming rape to cover up does NOT mean "all cases of rape are fake."
It is ABUSING the fact there IS REAL RAPE in order to make false claims at others' expense.
