True that, Ike. I have had traumatic experiences and been to counseling for chronic depression and anger management on three separate occasions, the first of which was involuntary. (I beat the class bully to the floor with a ball peen hammer in high school. He left school that day on a gurney. Broke three of the bastards ribs.) I also had to give up a career in aviation after developing a nasty fear of heights. So, yes, I have had the powerful and irrational feeling of having to get the fuck out of a situation in the face of no real danger. (Prior, I didn't know one could "acquire" phobias. I thought people were born with them.)
And, I have an older brother who still suffers from PTSD acquired in Vietnam.
Anyhow, you have given me food for thought. Thanks.
But, I still don't see Bergdahl as any sort of "hero".
