So what about the combat vets who go back to college after tours of duty and want to maybe not have PTSD breakdowns in class?

But nooo, everyone should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps or die and decrease the surplus population.

Tens of thousands. No make that 100,000s of veterans preceded them. The ones from Vietmam , Korea, WWII and WWI and they all managed because they were tough enough to suck it up and move on. (Even if they had PTSD). The apparent mental fragility of the current generation is seriously disturbing.

Can we have some statistics, please? I'm personally curious, and I guess it would strengthen your argument a lot.
Thanks.

DA but... statistics for what? For there having been several thousands of veterans with PTSD before the current generations of veterans? You don't need statistics for that, you need common sense.

As a child of veterans: no a lot of them from those wars weren't "tough enough to suck it up". People just talk more about it now/understand it better.

Also people were especially effected by Vietnam, jesus, do you know your history at all?

Honey, they didn't actually suck it up and move on. They drank themselves into oblivion, flew into rages, beat their wives and children. They suffered, and caused those around them to suffer, for the rest of their lives, because they weren't thought to have a problem.

+1000

This idea that Vietnam vets somehow just put their PTSD aside en masse is one of the most bizarre pieces of historical revisionism I've seen. So many suicides, so many homeless and institutionalized people, and this person's holding that generation up as a role model to berate another with. Wow.
