Please educate yourself before making such harsh assumptions.

Let me explain it this way: Who are you to say anyone does or doesn’t suffer from PTSD? As far as congress and the VA is concerned, YOU are NO ONE. You and your uninformed opinion don’t matter. The veteran matters and that’s exactly the way it should be. If you don’t want to give to T to T, don’t. No one will miss you or your lousy opinion. ☮️

The VA also awards PTSD claims for military sexual trauma, but this guy will probably accuse women AND MEN of faking that too! Disgusting! The OP should be taken down. It’s an insult to us veterans that served this country and this retired guy should be ashamed of himself.

Perhaps instead of bashing the poster for his lack of knowledge you should have taken a look at his data. Below are just two articles from Google (actually DDG) about veterans who collected benefits (or attempted to) based on fake PTSD claims. Yes, one is from 2010 but the other is from just last year.
Three cases of fraud
Guilty plea
PTSD fraud can and does occur (why would any reasonable person think it would not?), just Google it.
