Reply #17: Yes - I read the 4 paragraphs and got pissed of with the 4th. I do not

know what comes after the 4th paragraph. But I was not pleased that the opening information on PTSD (and women & War) lays blame at somebody else's door.

Hits me the wrong way. War is more than capable of creating repeated traumas itself. So the opening shot in the whole Women,War & PTSD issue talks about of much of the blame belongs somewhere else? A previous life? Again I say that the military of very, very "aware" of how information travels.

And yes - they lost me at 'previous trauma': another word for 'externalities'. Trust me the machine that is our leader... is very aware of when it creates the notion of externalities (global warming what?) and when they collapses externalities into internalities they have responsibility/ownership of for (Africans can no longer buy cheap knock off aids drugs from India - millions will die). It annoys me to know end.

Perhaps the article reversed itself in paragraph 5 and took us into the history of PTSD and its abusive treatment by the army & society. Not my problem if it did.
