And is a serious problem. I talked to an ex Marine who served three terms in Iraq the other day and he has it REALLY bad. He told me a story I couldnt believe. So glad the guy didnt press charges against him and put him in jail

ALso dont shoot off guns in city limits with people with that syndrome. They dont like it!

I was visiting a buddy of mine that served in Nam. We were just chit chatting away when a truck outside backfired. Man o man he hit the ground lickity split.

Then he told me the story. War is f***ing hell.

Yep this guy hits the deck with fireworks and the shooting of guns in the air near his home freaked him out. He moved so that now wont be a problem. Hope he gets medical treatment for his problem. He is seriously dangerous

I thought there must've been a technological breakthrough that eliminated them.

Does it really still happen?

It's not a sign of weakness to get it but only a small percentage of people actually get PTSD for an extended period of time. The way we train soldiers now makes them more prone to it though

PTSD is the sign that soldier has gone through hell.
