Grim over at BlackFive has a great post on PTSD that anyone that has a relative/friend/loved one that is having problems post tour of war duty should read.

I think that the main point he makes is one that we living here in "civilized" society don't really know and/or ackowledge; and that is that those with "ptsd" are not "broken"; they are the ones that are truly aware of the true reality of our existance.

They have to relearn putting the blinders on to function in our society, but in fact, they are the ones living in the TRUE reality and we are the the ignorant ones. We need the blinders (or as Grim put it "the walls" ) for society to function, but we must never lose sight of the fact that "society" is an artificial construct we all agree to make life easier, not the true reality of life.
