It sounds like you are looking for a reason to not credit a huge body of research and information that is recognized by the authorities on veteran issues.
No..

Again you are reading way too much into something. I say what I mean, and I mean what I say. You don't have to look for hidden meanings with me.

Read my above post to JoJo.

I said it sucks, but I can't do anything about it. You can't do anything about. Its been a common theme for the Military since WW2 to ignore issues. Now before it was called "Shell Shock" today its PTSD.. stop pussifying the terms and it will actually mean something.
