“A recent study from Arizona State University found that a full quarter of American college students have suffered symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the 2016 presidential election.

“The study’s lead researcher, Melissa Hagan, described the impetus for her study: ‘I taught two classes the day after the election: one undergraduate class and one graduate class,’ she explained. ‘In both classes, students were visibly upset, with some crying.’ One suspects that none of those students serves in our armed forces, where the rigors involve more than micro-aggressions.

“Young Americans’ fragility stems from a culture that has flipped the moral order on its head, dismissing strength as ‘toxic,’ rejecting service for ‘self-care,’ and eschewing humility for ‘pride.’ Surveys indicate that Millennials are more eager than prior generations to find ‘purpose’ in their lives. But how can they amid so much philosophical and religious confusion?”

That is a sad indication of how snowflake most liberals are and I can only imagine with your service that it should insult you(not sure from your name if you were in combat) anyone ever in combat and the majority of military people in general.

Yes… In Iraq

Bad news:  Rockets and mortars in our compound almost every day. 

Good news: Generally, they were not very good at rockets and mortars… though sometimes they got lucky.  I did have a bullet hole show up in the hood of my vehicle… directly in front of the windshield.  I don’t know whether I was in the vehicle or not.

Really hair raising:  I was imbedded in the Iraqi government and was “guarded” by Iraqis.

Military service is the antithesis of living as a snowflake.  True character is derived from confidence, competence, compassion, honesty, and humility. 

One:

Educates one’s self, becomes confident that one knows what he or she is doing… how to find that first 10 seconds of courage when you need it,

has a desire to understand and incorporate the needs of others,

realizes that one is not the center of the universe. 

honors his word... a contract is the refuge of lawyers and hucksters... NEVER lose your name!

We are all dust in the wind of geologic time. We should strive to make the world a better place for having travelled through.

PTSD is the result of exposure to violence and its consequences on a repeated basis…  NOT your party’s loss in the last election.

Snowflakes are confused and cannot tell the difference between a wolf and a sheepdog.  So much so, that they go out of their way to protect wolves and ban sheepdogs.  Wolves are sacred… defang the sheepdogs!  It is the duty of wolves to keep the snowflakes (sheep) confused.

Snowflakes should worry most that they WILL get that for which they wish.

Thankfully I can only imagine the things you describe and that they are not events here.

I agree anyone who wants to claim PTSD for something so trivial is insane or just a rabid leftist.
