Are you comparing your experiences to those of combat veterans?Hey look...I don't deny that PTSD is a real issue...I simply question the number of cases which are valid. Only a naive, pussified idiot wouldn't.
I know this is a sensitive subject but let's not be scared to apply a little simple logic....Liberals, grab your straight jackets and roll up in the fetal position before reading any further.
OK READY! Here goes:
Doctors, officers, firemen and EMT's watch little children die tragically for decades. (not one tour)
How many PTSD claims have originated from those professions?
Had you actually been paying attention you would know that a great many of those suffer with PTSD along with victims of rapes and all types of disasters. You really should educate yourself before talking silliness.
WOW...you must be a really smart guy...sounds like you really know your shit as it pertains to PTSD. So, smart guy...I ask again, how many PTSD claims have originated in other fields of work where traumatic happenings have been common and have happened far more often than in a tour of duty? Surely you have the answer?
One other thing....how long ago did you file your bullshit claim?
Yes, I have considerable knowledge about PTSU. It is you who are clueless. I was an Army medic in Vietnam where I was awarded a Combat Medical Badge. My Bn. received a Valorous Unit Award for actions during the Cambodia Incursion. Over a period well in excess of two decades I have been part of teams treating patients with PTSD. And have had my own disorder evaluated and treated by VA professionals.
If you should ever break down and begin to educate yourself on the subject, one of the very first thing you will learn is that there is no one set type or amount of trauma that results in PTSD. Obviously non-military persons are not going to be filing disability claims with the VA . If you are interested in such you can check with insurance companies, therapists, and private mental health facilities. But don't expect to beg the question or have someone do your research for you. And don't pretend that you have any idea how much trauma a person will be exposed to in any particular line of work over any particular time period.

First of all, PTSD happens in those professions. The difference is, most doctors, fire fighters and EMTs who are bothered by the trauma will find other careers. Ever try to end your enlistment early? Doesn't work quite the same way.
Second, it is not just the stress of seeing bad things. It is being in fear for your life for extended periods of time. The Fight or Flight Response is typically a rare thing for people. To have to live in that mode for days, weeks or even months is destructive to the human body.
How much combat time do you have?
Don't need "combat time" to be logical and call bullshit when I smell it. Don't let it hurt your feelings...but admit it...not every claimant who cries PTSD has PTSD. If you honestly believe otherwise you're simply being naive and or ignorant. That's the point I made earlier and I'm sticking to it....haha. Sorry to be sensible fellas!
"Sensible"? Broadcasting your ignorance at the top of your lungs is "sensible"? Really?
Well, there we have it folks...every single person who claims to have PTSD does in fact have PTSD. Get your checkbooks ready American Taxpayers. I saw someone cut off their finger once...I have PTSD.
Hell no...was that implied?
