PTSD is real ! And anybody knowing anything about PTSD also know that drinking is most of the time , the first sign of PTSD.

My Husband Has severe PTSD and he is retired Army with 80% Disability . It is not easy to live with PTSD ! And untreated , it will get worse. We should take care of our Soldiers when they come back ! And not judge , but be compassionate !

@djphilmore its spelled Cannabis ...

[djphilmore]

@PatrioticPetra Try Cannibus. Search debates on youtube, theres a couple Vets. with PTSD that use it and they never have PTSD symptoms again. Don't use medications which side affects could worsen the problem. even suicide... thats not a good side affect. and if Cannibus doesn't work theres no drawbacks or side affects. Hope this helps. God bless.

It sounds like Jonathan had to deal with someone in his chain of command who was of the persuasion that PTSD is bullshit, or that soldiers should at least suck it up and continue to fight until their contract is up.

Whoever that was needs to be replaced ASAP with someone who treats PTSD like the psychological injury that it is.

He has PTSD because of his service, and the bastards try to discharge him for misconduct after keeping him there when they shouldn't have.

Absolutely obscene.

when i was first diagnosed with ptsd and traumatic brain injury they were told by the base doctor to keep me on shore duty for more tests and 2 days later i was out to sea... the ships doc didnt want to give me any special treatment so it was business as usual again because he didnt believe in ptsd...i got a bad attitude and got in a lot of trouble like you did and at my eaos i was told not to reenlist and was given my discharge papers... it took years to get 100%pnt

PTSD is the liberation of the mind. PTSD is where you discover that everyone else has been insane the whole time. PTSD is where you discover how corupt & unreal the world is. You discover you have been part of something that just isnt right. You must realize that it was society around you that made your minds scream out. It made you realize that you dont want to be part of that because its immoral. Then you look at all the creatures & drones surrounding you & how they are in the matrix.

This whole concept of just sucking it up or boxing it up & putting it away is everything psychology says NOT to do. Its compartmentalization of the mind. It creates components that only allows for simple responses of Fight or Flight in most scenerios. It also effects Long Term Memory. Yep,  if you DONT go through PTSD, you may already be a robot for the Banker Elite, include not even a credible witness with long term memory loss. PTSD is decompartmentalization through flashback, LTM aquisition

Phosphatidyl Serine Matrix. GET OFF THEIR DRUGS!! Dont drink Caffiene. Take herbal vitamins. Let it out. Let it ALL out. Dont hold back....SCREAM!!!!!!!! You MUST heal, The whole system is built on you shutting your mind down. It makes the rich richer, at the expense of your sanity & control over your own thoughts. Take back your mind. PTSD is the perfect mind awakening, things become so much clearer when you pull it all back together, though you may always have the memory its not your fault.

The "brave" NATO soldiers would not have even contemplated terrorising innocent countries had they not firstly been disarmed by UN. UN is a tool used by USA to disarm countries before seeking to inflict its Terrorist attrocities on the innocent. You "Heroes" aren't interested in the truth...all you need to know is that you are better equipped than your victims, so you can steal there resources and freedom. God is on the side of the innocent - this is why you are losing these wars. You are weak!!
