What a moronic thing to say.
I was in the Navy with a number of Nam vets, I know a few through my own family, and that kind of flippant statement belittles the guys who HAVE a problem like that.
Sadly through my two sons, both of whom were over in the Iraq / Afghan areas, have seen some awful stuff too. Like the Nam vets, they tend to just stay away from the topic.
Think before you type, you simple putz!

It's gargamel with blue all over his mouth. It's closure.

dat Gargamel picture gives me PTSD.
Plot hole - Aspect of a film that is misunderstood or missed while using your smart phone.

If anything, watching The Pacific makes me a stronger person. My "problems" seem so small and silly compared to what those Marines went through on those islands.
It also forces me to face the fact that I'm a pampered coward, who grew up in the 50's and 60's with all the comforts of middle class. I know I could never have survived what those guys went through. It's quite sobering to admit that to yourself. It's a damn shame that most Americans haven't a clue about the war in the Pacific. or even the sacrifices those at home made for the war effort.

When I was growing up, a lot of the dads and uncles were WW2 vets. Back then, there was a LOT of alcoholism. Those guys have been through hell. There was some awareness of and treatment for psychological aftereffects for the WW2 generation but it was nowhere near adequate.

Just gruesome. I don't think any of the combat vets came home without psychological problems.
And back then they came and were pretty much told - good job boys, it's over now so get on with your lives. I remember my dad fifty years after the war would sometimes get really drunk and cry and say he could "hear them screaming". I read a good book, The Hidden Legacy of World War II: A Daughter's Journey of Discovery. It's about the toll the war took, not only on the vets, but on their families also.

Just gruesome. I don't think any of the combat vets came home without psychological problems.

Ummm, no, because I know that it's just a movie. I did cringe a little bit at some scenes, but I'm not losing sleep over it.

Only a moron would say some stupid b.s. like that.

It brought back a lot of bad beep that I'd dealt with. The weather & jungle conditions were very well done & brought back memories. On the other hand, it was a movie, very well done, but nothing can ever come close to being in a real battle. 'cept being in a real battle.

Nevertheless working with things that can go 'boom' (or are heavy enough to break bones if dropped on you!) does give a fellow pause; Didn't the Ranger have one of those onboard explosions? Or was it the USS Forest Fire-uh Forrestal?
Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!?

Hell in this day and age all some pathetic sissy ass pansy has to do is lose the damn cell phone and its PTSD time.

Don't forget Twitter harassment!

OP is prob trolling but PTSD doesn't only afflict war veterans. It can hurt people who've been molested, raped, sexually abused, enslaved, tortured, or had a TRAUMATIC EVENT. Therefore if a high school girl accidentally waxed out both her eyebrows and she is traumatized, she can develop PTSD from it I GUESS
