If they arbitrarly insist, that Combat PTSD applies only to the military, it is not logical, or correct. Because, clearly, Combat PTSD applies every bit as much to civilians, who are in Active Combat Zones, as well. As I said at the beginning of the thread, if someone wants to put additional labels on, it would have to be Military Combat PTSD and Civilian Combat PTSD, for both were in Active Combat Zones. It is important, because all of the civilians who were in Active Combat Zones, and there are more of them than there is military, are being mislabeled (incorrectly labeled) as not having Combat PTSD, and invalidated as well, as to whether or not they have Combat PTSD. They both, military and civilians, went through the exact same hell. Medically, they have all the same symptoms, and they recieved those symptoms because they were both in Active Combat Zones. If neither the military, nor the civilians were in an Active Combat Zone, neither would have had Combat PTSD. Its a difference without a distinction. No difference.
Shalom.
