My great grandfather got it after WWI (it wasn't a diagnosis because it wasn't an acknowledged condition yet, but he had the symptoms). He was also mustard gassed. It led to his alcoholism later in life, apparently. I know a guy who was a soldier sent over to Kosovo during the Yugoslav wars, and now he has a work dog and medical marijuana because of all the f***ed up stuff he saw. I lose my s*** at posers. People can have real PTSD without experiencing wartime. What qualifies as traumatic varies from person to person, which is why you get plenty of people coming back from war with no problems, and others who develop it because of a particularly nasty bit of spilled milk. A whole lot of people definitely do confuse "I'm uncomfortable discussing this subject" or "I find this offensive" with actually being traumatized by whatever it is, and most "trigger warnings" amount more to "somebody might find this upsetting," but you shouldn't downplay perfectly legitimate PTSD cases just because you don't think the root of the case is traumatic enough. ...
