cindy mccain said her husband doesn't have ptsd. she said because he was well trained. she said those who were not well trained have ptsd. has a person with ptsd due to my service in vietnam i resent that someone would blame me for my own illness because i wasn't well train. that is a lie i was well trained. nobody in is right mine would want to have ptsd.

Well,..who says Cindy McCain is an expert on the subject. So if she said it, she is ignorant. If she said the stuff you post, it is obvious she is a moron on the subject. If she said it, doesn't sound like she is blaming the Vet but the lack of training the particular vet got (as mistaken as she is). So what is your point?

welcome back in time to the 70's and part of the 80's when they didnt even have a name for it or knew what to do about it.
Here's where i'll probably get into trouble but I think everyones using the PTSD as a rediculous esxcuse.
If you notice in that support group some of the reasons given by people never in uniform are out in left field. Note, thats MY opinion

maybe mrs McCain didnt want to give that other asshole more ammo to use against her husband Let's not forget that Obama wont salute the American flag or wear a flag pin either. He wants to be the commander in chief?
