Again- you are of course entitled to your opinion.
In my opinion, those who have volunteered to serve and defend our country deserve respect and admiration for their service.
And our country generally agrees- since we have an entire Veteran's Administration devoted to them.
We also have laws that provide specific benefits to honor veterans- from home loans to job protections.
I think we should encourage those who may choose to volunteer to defend our country- by honoring those who have done already done so.
Then you take away the emotional crutches and treat them. No therapy dogs, no accommodation. .You go on. Whatever it is you go on. You pick yourself up and go on.
It doesn't mean bad things never happen it means that you grow a spine and get over it. Not that every one and their brother in law has to accommodate your feelings.
You have a severe misunderstanding of mental illness.
Yeah, you go on. But if you're miserable going on, it wears you down some more. So you ask for help in order to go on more effectively, and maybe with a bit more enjoyment of life.
Otherwise, you begin doing the things that you think people "excuse" with mental illness. Things like hurting your loved ones, drinking, withdrawing from society.
You don't have to "believe" it; it's there whether you do or not. And I can't help but notice that you are one miserable person on here.
Why would anyone want to accommodate someone who survives by demanding pity?
Forcing someone to sit up straight does not make me miserable. I assure you.
No one is demanding pity. People with mental illness want treatment.
Alzheimer’s disease, is it a mental illness? – The Chicago BridgeAlzheimers is not a mental illness. Brain tumors are not mental illnesses.A claim of mental incapacity is not a handicap because it only exists in your head. You go on. Bad things happen and you pick up and go on asking nothing from anyone. The only appropriate answer is "Get over yourself".A claim of mental instability is not a handicap.
Really?
Why is a 'claim of mental incapacity' not as real as any other claim of a handicap?
Or do you believe if you can't see a missing limb that there must not be a handicap?
'it only exists in your head'.
Wow. I so would like to be able to tell my mother in law with Alzheimer's that it just exists in her head- that she just needs to 'Get over yourself'- and have her be able to remember my wife. Or how to use a toilet.
But this is not a surprise coming from the person who admires ISIS for killing gays.

Alzheimers is quantifiable. It is subject to testing. It shows up in scans and laboratory tests.

Alzheimer’s disease is formally recognized as a mental illness. The disease and its symptoms are outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR), which is the main tool used to diagnose mental illnesses such as Schizophrenia and Borderline Personality Disorder. However, there is danger in viewing Alzheimer’s disease as a mental illness in regards to societal stigma and treatment approaches.
Alzheimer's is a mental illness- just not the mental illness you want to discriminate against.

What business owner 'rights'?
The issue here is honoring- and accommodating those who have served our country and suffered as a consequence.
I think business owners have an obligation to make a reasonable accommodation for a veteran's handicap- you don't.

Why do some people develop PTSD and other people do not?
It is important to remember that not everyone who lives through a dangerous event develops PTSD. In fact, most people will not develop the disorder.
Many factors play a part in whether a person will develop PTSD. Some examples are listed below. Risk factors make a person more likely to develop PTSD. Other factors, called resilience factors, can help reduce the risk of the disorder.
Risk Factors and Resilience Factors for PTSD
Some factors that increase risk for PTSD include:
Some resilience factors that may reduce the risk of PTSD include:
- Living through dangerous events and traumas
- Getting hurt
- Seeing another person hurt, or seeing a dead body
- Childhood trauma
- Feeling horror, helplessness, or extreme fear
- Having little or no social support after the event
- Dealing with extra stress after the event, such as loss of a loved one, pain and injury, or loss of a job or home
- Having a history of mental illness or substance abuse
Researchers are studying the importance of these and other risk and resilience factors, including genetics and neurobiology. With more research, someday it may be possible to predict who is likely to develop PTSD and to prevent it.
- Seeking out support from other people, such as friends and family
- Finding a support group after a traumatic event
- Learning to feel good about one’s own actions in the face of danger
- Having a positive coping strategy, or a way of getting through the bad event and learning from it
- Being able to act and respond effectively despite feeling fear
