You are utterly repugnant.Besides the incredible insensitivity and contempt you also have for "18 year olds' , especially when they're members of the military, you have no knowledge of what PTSD is or how it works.Your husband's temper, which is by turns offensive, defensive and violent, has been distinctively his own since he was a very young child. However, to somehow imply that having PTSD is a flaw or weakness due to (lack of) character or age is cruel and demeaning.PTSD is insidious--it is hard to diagnose, harder to treat, hard to admit because it makes a person feel that they have no control over outside dangers. Trying to live with PTSD, much less trying to live with and love PTSD survivors is a challenge that you, Mrs. McCain, have demoted to something akin to acne.It's unfortunate for us that you have no shame, much less, intelligence, much less any notion of gratitude for troops, for the the young, or for the real heroes--the ones who have suffered but don't parade around.You are disgusting. And so so blind.
Maybe she's right. Maybe McCain did not have PTSD. Maybe he was just a cold blooded b*tard who abandoned his disabled wife to marry a rich bimbo and immediately set about furthering his own career while ignoring fellow veterans...oh, wait...
Is she so desperate to be First Lady that she will say anything, do anything, put up with anything in order to further John's ambitions? She is a multimillionaire for heaven's sake!
Wow. How to lose votes for your husband. Sorry - correction - how to lose even more votes for your husband. Suggest that only young, naif, untrained boys of 18 get PTSD.Something tells me he's furious about the suggestion that he may have PTSD. He thinks that makes him weak. Old school, blind prejudice which led to soldiers with PTSD being shot by their officers in WW1 and WWII for "cowardice". So much for caring deeply about today's troops and the vets coming home. Git.

Hi Cindy: Please come to talk more about this PTSD thing. <a class="user" href="http://www.iraqwarveterans.org/ptsd.htm">http://www.iraqwarveterans.org/ptsd.htm</a>Also, one third of veterans returning home from Iraq sought help for mental distress. Your husband voted to fund them right? Oh wait...<a class="user" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/28/AR2006022801712.html">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic ...</a>
