O.k. I can understand where everyone is coming from. I was in military but praise God I was not in combat. I know of several people who have. I have been in mental hospitals with people really hurt from action. This is where I'm coming from. A few months back a soldier,driving drunk, hit and killed someone. In court it came out that he had several dui's and that he was suffering from ptsd. He did not get the correct help because of lack of undserstanding. Therefore he turn like many of us have to self medication with alcohol. That is just one instance of many I have seen on the news or read about. When I was in the military their attitude was quit whining, suck it up and move on. I just feel that people with ptsd or often mis-understood by others. Or even worse misunderstand themselve, and thinking they are crazy or evil. So this idea was not about sensationalism, or poking fun, or making light of a mighty terrible fire-breathing monster but more of a battle cry, No more!! No more will you take from us, and a helping hand reaching out to those with ptsd and their families. Again I did not mean to offend anyone. If I have I am so sorry!!! Please accept my apology. Hope we can talk soon. Sean
