127. So are soldiers and Marines who come home from war mental patients
because they have PTSD?
My uncle was a tailgunner on a B17 in WW2. He was shot down over Germany and was the only survivor of his crew. Nine of his fellow crew were killed. When he was taken prisoner, he was shaking really bad from what he just went through. He was a POW for a year. He suffered from PTSD from what he went through. He drank himself to death. You know what they found in his wallet? A list of the names on the plane that day that didn't survive. My uncle was not a mental patient. How dare you.
