   This does not bode well.

   You can live with PTSD but it never truly goes away.

   Before anyone gets into one of those long political diatribes, I sincerely recommend that they read today’s SHOE comic strip, first.
   Thank you.

   PTSD, is something we all live with. That is if you, served in the U.S. military. It doesn’t mean were crazy, it just means that something will cause us too flash back to some place, where we’ve been.

   It’s hardly just the US military. I know a Russian who was an officer in Chechnya and even now, twelve years later, he still wakes up screaming.

   I have every faith Alex will hang tough.

   I imagine all those new neural pathways a fighting man lays down in combat under the influence of adrenalin are pretty deeply grooved in.

    If this is no exaggeration or isolated case, my heart goes out to those guys and the families who have to deal with them. At least Toggle isn’t the violent type; although he could prove to be problematic behind the wheel of a vehicle.

    @Linguist
    Amen – from a repentant sinner…

    I think my request yesterday got lost in a welter of torn and bleeding billy-goat body-parts – does anyone have a date or a link for the strips in which the original incident, to which Toggle is now having flashbacks, occurred?

    What makes you think Americans are any different from anybody else? I have a theory that many of the problems in the Middle East today are because several successive generations have not had the opportunity to break from the cycle of PTSD that they are in. This affliction has been documented as far back as the Zulu wars at least (and probably before that).

    I recently saw a mentalist demonstrate how to implant and reinforce memories and thoughts in someone through a series of sudden touches coinciding with keywords. It was a very low-voilence process. When the memories and thoughts of a situation are implanted by highly violent shocks in course of battle, the results are geometrically more devastating.

    I think Alex will be fine, judging by her last comment. She’s rolling with the situation.
