To show more presence of having mst ptsd next to combat ptsd would help the masses realize that veterans can experience one or both forms of ptsd... And that mst ptsd may be as prevalent as combat ptsd. 25 to 50 percent of women and 10 to 15 percent of men report mst. Not all have ptsd, but that is how many are victimized.

I think your logic is sound! It's interesting to hear this from someone who's been through it. I have heard stigma's attached to military service ptsd / military sexual trauma, but never about it so openly. Thank you for sharing that insight.
In saying this, I agree that separating the two is important!
You've got a lot to say and share and I look forward to hearing more. You've certainly opened my eyes to military abuse!
Any chance you might have a title in mind for your subsection?
Thanks,
