Chip--No one can possibly know how they will react once they are actually in a traumatic situation--much less what their psyches might do after the fact. Training and preparation may help mitigate, but do not guarantee one will not develop post-traumatic stress disorder. When you have either experienced the symptems yourself or have spent years, as have I, working with people wwith PTSD, you may be allowed to rant and point fingers, though I doubt you would want to if you really knew what you were talking about. You clearly are totally and completely ignorant of the anguish and disruption in functioning that PTSD causes.

How appalling.
