I say &#8220;Idea&#8221; because that all it really is. \u00a0When enough of us stop believing in the idea of the Constitution, \u00a0The Bill of Rights, Blind Justice and so many of the other things that make the United States different from all other Nations then we as a Nations will cease to exist. \u00a0We will fade away into antiquity to be studied by future generations.<\/p>\n<p>For every lie that we read about, every Fake DD-214 we see there are 10,000 silent truths. Those truths that belong to the men and women who have served our nation faithfully and with dignity and who see no need to embellish or lie about what they did. \u00a0For every lie there are graves on almost every continent and in ever sea, the final resting places of real Valor.<\/p>\n<p>To so many of these fakes just being a part of something great is not enough. They lie to try to advance in politics, or to impress a girlfriend or employer. What really pisses me off now are all the claims of PTSD. \u00a0I am just waiting for the one who claims PTSD from the stress of keeping up the lie. \u00a0Its going to happen and whoever does it will get \u00a0a disability rating from the VA. \u00a0PTSD is a very real issue, every time one of these fakes hides behind it as an excuse for wrong actions it hurts the Veteran community and Serving military as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>We all have stress in our lives, Every person who ever served can recall instances of traumatic stress. Hell, in boot camp I forget one of those damned General Orders and had to go to marching party. (Work out ran by sadistic SEALs at RTC in San Diego) To this day it remains the hardest physical thing I have ever done. I didn&#8217;t make it the first time either, I had to do it again the next night. Stressful and Traumatic? Hell yes. \u00a0I lived in fear of ever having to do that again. Guess what? \u00a0I know my General Orders.<\/p>\n<p>So one of these fakes gets caught in a lie and blames it on PTSD, \u00a0Now if he or she is questioned or other wise ridiculed ,we are picking on someone with PTSD and are the bad guys. It pisses me off. \u00a0I am a Vet, I am also dealing with a minor disability. I have a bad knee. It limits what I can and can&#8217;t do and there are days that it hurts so bad that I don&#8217;t do much. \u00a0I often use a cane and brace. \u00a0This knee problem has Jack-shit to do with my time in the Navy. But I guess I could call myself a disabled vet like so many others. \u00a0Nope, I don&#8217;t think so. It&#8217;s not how people are supposed to act.<\/p>\n<p>News Flash Fakers, PTSD and disability are not magic shields you can hide behind. \u00a0Real men and women suffer from PTSD, to some it gets to a point that it completely controls their lives. \u00a0They live in a maze where that walls are made of debilitating fear. \u00a0Other&#8217;s relive an event over and over for years with no relief. It affects careers, relationships and every aspect of living, but the frauds and fakes play the PTSD card like its an excuse for all things done wrong. Sorry it won&#8217;t work like that. If you use PTSD as an excuse for bad actions then you will get called out.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pissed about this growing issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every day on this site and others \u00a0frauds, fakes and phonys are exposed for what they &hellip; <a title=\"The PTSD Made Me Do It\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=48540\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The PTSD Made Me Do It<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":644,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-veterans-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/644"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48540\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
