They have served us well, already. Make AR-15s harder to get, instead.

So don't hire the ones with PTSD. This is not a hard problem.

How do you weed them out. A person's medical history is private. And, too many people who should be getting care are undiagnosed still.

You can require certain medical standards for work, that's why for some jobs you have to go to a doctor and get a physical.

PTSD Tests? There are some screenings, if the patient is symptomatic. But, if they are hiding information to be Macho or to get a job, you are screwed.

At the first signs on the job you take them off.

The first sign of PTSD can be a fatal shooting. This is a cockamamie idea that would cost billions and provide little in return. But, it keeps the Right from having to address the carnage that has followed years of mass marketing of weapons of war, after the Republican made them legal to own.

No. The first sign is shaking hands and headaches, followed by irritability, and then flashbacks.

Symptoms vary and are specific to the patient. But, in my years at the VA, I have had many patients tell me that the first symptom they noticed was a flashback. They might be exhibiting other symptoms that are more noticeable to others. But, a flashback is hard to ignore.

As a veteran, I say your prejudice and discrimination against veterans is appalling.

As a veteran who served my fellow vets for 30-years at the VA, citing facts arguing against a phony proposal is hardly prejudice. I was there when PTSD was first described. I met personally with the doctors treating angry and violent Veterans, to discuss the diagnosis. I have sat in an ER waiting room with Veterans in the middle of the night, waiting for the Neuropsychiatric Officer of the Day to see them. I have taken their weapons and locked them in my safe, so that they would relax and not worry about using them on family members. Protecting a Vet from having his PTSD triggered, is recognizing their reality, not discriminating against them.

It's not your place to be trashing fellow veterans. As a life member of the VFW, I find your attitude appalling.

As a life member of the VFW, I don’t give a f**k what you think.

Maybe that's your biggest problem. 🙄

Let’s see your card. Not that I don’t believe you. But, you know, it’s like a challenge coin.

Ditto. It’s sickening. He is shitting on the graves of every one of our fallen brothers and sisters. It’s pathetic.

No. He's not.

Yes, he is. Ask the members of your post.

Well, to be honest, Sen Graham is another "breath of fresh air" who turned stale before his first term was up.
He is a RINO and knows as much about this subject as whoopi, joy, and Biden...which is to say "NOTHING"

He is an officer in the Army Reserves. He serves as a lawyer. I am sure he is aware of the issues PTSD presents in certain kinds of jobs.

He’s a weekend warrior, joined reserves to have that on his political resume. He’s a phony baloney and like most career politicians, he will say ANYTHING to retain his seat.

So, if he is a phony, his proposal is phony, which makes the arguments against my criticism supporting a phony?

What is wrong with you?
I have already agreed with you
