ACtually, in Vietnam, it was called "combat fatigue."
George Carlin noted in an NPR interview how as wars progress, we find more and more syllables to describe the same disease.
First 'shell-shock'
Then 'battlefield stress' or 'combat fatigue'
Now it's 'post-traumatic stress disorder'
I just took a look at that house of his in Arizona. He does have PTSC. Pitiful Taste in Southwest Chic. Talk about how to ruin a mansion with a bunch of crap!
Well, whatever you may call it, let's argue that he has it. That's why he overreacts to perceived internal threats. Does he jump when a car backfires?? Oh, that's right; they don't backfire anymore.
I mean PTSD in the title. Sorry.
