<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Velocity173, post: 2606021, member: 12000&quot;]Well, I suppose the threat of danger affects everyone differently. I’ve gone through numerous rocket / mortar attacks. Even burned my finger on a piece of shrapnel because I was stupid enough to pick it up...still waiting on my Purple Heart. The constant, but rare threat of getting hit didn’t affect me at all. Fireworks make me jump not because it reminds me of indirect fire, it’s just loud.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, going out on patrol and kicking down doors not knowing if you’re gonna get your head blown off? Or, being at a COP in the middle of nowhere that’s always under attack, with a real threat of being overrun? Those guys get my respect and legitimately have PTSD claims. Thing is, I’d be willing to bet the majority of the guys (infantry, SF / SEALs) that saw real action don’t even claim it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

It is very likely that it does not need any further discussion and thus bumping it serves no purpose. If you feel it is necessary to make a new reply, you can still do so though.

I am aware that this thread is rather old but I still want to make a reply.
