Sarah Palin lied about her son. He never even served in combat

[candycorn]

Do you liberals even know any veterans?

You do realize that 20 percent of FEMALE veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan suffer from PTSD, right?

How many women Veterans have PTSD?

Among women Veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, almost 20 of every 100 (or 20%) have been diagnosed with PTSD. We also know the rates of PTSD in women Vietnam Veterans. An important study found that about 27 of every 100 female Vietnam Veterans (or 27%) suffered from PTSD sometime during their postwar lives. To compare, in men who served in Vietnam, about 31 of every 100 (or 31%) developed PTSD in their lifetime.

How do I know? One of the veterans at the Legion suffers from PTSD. She was a 88 Mike...truck driver...not a combat MOS.

Now please STFU before you embarrass yourselves even further, if that is remotely possible.

And for fucksake, stop pretending that you have a single fucking clue what the fuck you are talking about, you silver spoon stuck up your collective asses, lily-livered, soft-handed fuckchops.

Thanks in advance.

So yes or no, do you think he served in Combat?

 

[Arianrhod]

Lots of ignorance in this thread. Soldiers do not have to be in combat to suffer from PTSD.

As several people have mentioned in this thread, there are plenty of non-combat reasons for PTSD, including child abuse and rape.

Two unanswered questions arise: When and where did Track receive treatment (and if not, why not)? What is Sarah trying to tell us about Track's life prior to the military that led to his acting out sufficient to be arrested in 2005?

 

[washamericom]

no, the democrats are saying that track was somehow forced to join the military, instead of volunteering, which is false.

No. The issue is that when Track was arrested in 2005:
Bus vandals charged

he was given a choice between prison and military service.

show me.

Track has been out for seven years

With all the money Sarah makes speaking to adoring conservatives, why hasn't she gotten him treatment to prevent him from beating women?

I do not know the answer to these questions. I think it was very low and inappropriate for Palin to politicize her son's problem and it is wrong and inappropriate for the public to politicize it as well. He needs a visit to the VA and professional attention. Whether his problem is related to military service is for the professionals to determine, not his mother or the general public.

 

[JimH52]

I'm not going to call into question whether Track has PTSD. It's absolutely possible that he could, but for Sarah to blame Track's behavior towards his girlfriend on PTSD and then to blame that PTSD on President Obama...that's beyond the pale.

The family is so dysfunctional, they need someone to take the blame. Her attitude and dismissive manner goes well with the nutjob that she endorced.

If Palin's politics were left wing, she would be treated as a darling, so cut the bs.

Track was traumatized by a bus at an early age. He has been angry ever since. You have to give a kid a little gratis in a situation like this. Bus trauma is the 6th most common cause of PTSD.

It's further confirmation of the fact that Palin is a liar.

And unfortunately she's not alone among conservatives, many of whom have been contriving and propagating such lies concerning the president.

SHE NEVER SAID HE SERVED IN COMBAT YOU!!!

You liberals made that up out of whole clothe because you THINK you know what the **** you're talking about when it come to PTSD.

Some liberal who doesn't know his ass from a hot rock came up with this because he WRONGLY believed a service member could ONLY get PTSD from combat.

Then the rest of you ran with it, because YOU don't know a ******* thing about PTSD!

So, this whole thread is a sham. And all of you fell for it, because returning War Vets are only a tool for you to use against Bush and the Republicans...you couldn't even take five ****** minutes out of your busy pampered lives to learn what PTSD is and what causes it.

(I edited all the obscenities out of this post after it was written, so parts of it may not make as much sense in their current form.)

So, prove me wrong. Post right here...and this is addressed to everyone, not just Candycorn... where Palin said Track was in combat, or admit this is a farce and hang your heads in shame.

some of these left wingers melt down at the very mention of Palin's name. They become some of the worst liars on the planet. Palin has not always been my cup of tea, but the way left wingers try and hose her, its almost funny.

GoddamnAlmighty...

It is soooooooo frigging funny, watching foolish Liberals, slinging shit like this, as if anybody on the outside even pays attention to them any longer...

Nobody gives a rat's ass about any of this Palin horseshit; at least not enough to allow it to prejudice them overly much one way or another, when it comes time to vote...

In all likelihood, LibProgs are about to get an Epic Ass-Whooping...

They know it... they can sense it... they can feel it in the air... and, after eight years in power, they're shitting their pants, trying everything they can, to avert total disaster...

Fun Time's over, kiddies...

Time to step aside, and give the other side another turn at-bat...

Now... pick up your mitts, and head for the outfield...

No, what's funny is the arrogance, hypocrisy, and stupidity of most republicans, and their nonsense about being the party of 'family values.'

Consequently, republicans have only themselves to blame when subject to such ridicule.

Have it your way.

In case it hadn't dawned on you yet, a great many Americans have pretty much had it with LibProg rock-throwing over really small shit, and it's probably gonna cost you.

But, it is the fate of Men, that they do not learn from the past, nor do they deviate from their long-entrenched perceptions, despite the changes that Reality rains down upon them.

And, the Reality is... after eight years of the Magic Negro, and Rule by Imperial Decree... the LibProg agenda is in real trouble in 2016.

Failing to face up to that Reality and continuing to ankle-bite on the Small and Unimportant Shit is extremely dangerous to your agenda, this year.

You're already coming from behind, this year, and you don't need to fall behind any further.

So...you want to compare a fantasy of your own devising with what really happened?

 

[Arizona Willie]

it's a volunteer army, and his being forced to join is another democrat hoax. nice try libs.

Where did you get the notion that the Palins are Democrats?

no, the democrats are saying that track was somehow forced to join the military, instead of volunteering, which is false. he joined to serve his country, not the world of politics.

i don't know the palins, other than sarah and todd, they are conservatives, so am i.

==========
I think that when she ( Palin ) says " forced " she means the judge gave him a choice.... So many years in prison or join the Armed Forces.

Yo dumbass, don't sit and throw feces while your own candidates do the very same thing. Besides Palin isn't even running, Hillary is

With morons like Sassy, the questions posed HAVE to be simple:

Is this thread about Palin....or is it about Clinton? A yes or no would be nice.

No, her point is: Palin is not running for office and is therefore largely irrelevant. Next slide, please.

I'll remember that each and every time you leftist loons throw a BBBBBUUUUTTTT Booooooooosh!!!! in a thread. You can't possibly be this stupid. Your best bet is to run along and cease making a fool out of yourself

Tell that to Trump.

How long do you figure it'll take him to realize she's upstaging him and kick her to the curb?

He's just tapping into another reservoir... the disappointed losing Pub mainstream of 2008... using an iconic figure, who has some marginal utility.
