re: Is it insensitive to veterans to have a fireworks show not on a major holiday?

I went thru many more than that and obviously we think of PTSD in a very different manner. To each his own my point is there are too many vets out there claiming shite they don't need to be claiming.

I look at WW2 era vets as being the ones that got bombarded with artillery as the ones that are shell shocked. I don't understand why someone would have PTSD by kicking in doors. Just because you kick in doors doesn't mean you had trigger time.

I see PTSD as getting shot, having to pick your dead friends off the ground, getting blown up, watching your friends take a last breath, and death in general. Many vets I know feel the same way. Not saying no one saw some shite, but claiming PTSD because you kicked in a few doors just doesn't add up imo.

We got into many firefights, ambushes, IEDs and whatever comes with the territory of combat. So if you want to call me a pussy I'm fine with that I don't care. I don't get offended that easily.
