A person in my life took his Silver Star license plates off his vehicle after his last tour. He closes the blinds, is fanatical about home security, worse than others I know. He had been Clean and Sober for over 20 years before his last tour. He is not anymore. He wants to talk about it but can't. One of the people who had his life together the most out of many that I know and now he has seized up. So sad to see this GREAT person hurt so bad.
One other person I know has suffered since 9/11 and it is not good. Some things can't be unseen.

You are very right in saying that PTSD is not limited to the military. I think the study of brain related matters is just beginning to be understood and therefore we are seeing more diagnosis's like this for things that were just previously chalked up as mental illness, alcohol or substance abuse.
