"But you don't have PTSD."

That's what my VA psycho-therapist told me after 8 months of what I thought was treatment by him for PTSD. I said "Yes, I do have it. Look it up in my records."

He banged on his keyboard for a minute and then said "Oh. I guess you do."

That was my last visit with him. I kind of lost faith in the VA BHOST system after that.

LOL, #4.... My buddy at a bar... Dude comes outta no where "You in the army? Just back from the stan?"
My Buddy "ya"
Dude "Oh shit, cool, You kill people over there?"
My Buddy "Have you ever been f*cked in the ass?
Dude "HUH?"
My Buddy "YA ITS A PRETTY f*ckING PERSONAL QUESTION ISNT IT? AND IF YOU HAVE YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANNA TALK TO SOME f*ckING STRAGER ABOUT IT!"
Convo ends Dude buys $40 worth of beer and shots for us and leaves the bar quietly

Great way to put it. Next time someone asks me that, I am going to have to steal it.
