In my latest bit over at BigPeace, Politics, Fraud, and PTSD, I review Dr. Sally Satel's important article in TheWallStreetJournal, The Battle Over Battle Fatigue.
Make sure and read her entire bit. As I said over at BigPeace, if everything is PTSD – then nothing is – and that means that those who actually have real PTSD will find services diluted, funds diverted, and their case lost in a sea of fraud.
On the political side, the Leftist logic train runs like this: if anyone in the military can have PTSD – then all have it. If everyone in the military has PTSD, they are not well. If they are not well, then they are to be pitied. If they are to be pitied, then they are not my peer. If they are not my peer, then their opinion is of no value. If their opinion is of no value, it can be ignored. If they can be ignored, no one will take them seriously. If no one takes them seriously, they have no power. If they have no power – they cannot get in my way.
Quod erat demonstrandum.
