Laughing out loud on two counts, Trish.  First, because you called me "Paul
the Fifth"...You're the second person this week to think the V (which is my
initial) was a roman numeral.  I kind of like it though.  Grin.

Secondly, I never said that McCain or anyone else with PTSD was an "out of
control monster."  I simply said that he seems to be in denial that he even
has the condition.  He shows all the symptoms but doesn't seem to have gotten
treatment.  And if he has, it hasn't worked.  So while he might not "go
berserk" as you say, it could affect his performance at a critical time.

Paul V not Henry the 8th  (Anyone else remember that song "I'm Henry the 8th
I am"?)

         I am not so sure why Paul the Fifth is so wired out about PTSD. I
 have it. While being hyperviligant makes one jumpy - I haven't killed any
 worse than ant and that was by accident not design. Nightmares and
 flashbacks  are no fun - but you don't go beserk. PTSD doesn't  make you an
 out of control monster.
