Totally different. If the military lied to its soldiers about the risks of going to war and about PTSD, then they'd get sued. And lose.

yep. Plus, even with the huge reality of PTSD, the suicide rate among our military has increased at the same rate as the suicide rate among America as a whole. IMO, mental health is increasing at a similar rate regardless of careers. Whether you are a military person, NFL player, stripper, lawyer, IT analyst, bus driver, etc., you have the same likelihood to have mental health issues. America is failing it's population as a whole in this area.

i just don't understand how anyone could tell me with a straight face that they didn't know the risk of brain damage existed in a sport as violent as football. yeah, the nfl fricked up by lying about it, but the players know the risks.

Actually, no. The Military are the only government employees who are not only barred from forming a union, but also barred from suing the government while in service.
