In Missouri, especially around here, people are fireworks crazy, so last night these signs (the concept, as I have not seen any around here) were even more funny; sound like "shock and awe" around our home. So, I am getting... Real tired of this...
WWI, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, etc... Didn't complain.. To me, These are just more posers and attention seekers.
But, this sign (meme, I think?) is really accurate... It about covers my thoughts, as does the author....
"No, I'm not saying every last veteran with these signs is full of crap (although my tone sure suggests it). Nor am I saying PTSD doesn't cause real, verifiable problems and sensitivities to things like fireworks. I am saying, however, that our personal problems are not the general public's responsibility. If we have issues we need to handle them ourselves, not expect our communities to change their behavior for us.
Every veteran who handles his issues wins a victory that helps us all. Every veteran who embraces victimhood and displays a sense of entitlement reinforces damaging stereotypes that hurt us all. So burn those stupid fucking signs, light some fireworks, and be grateful that your neighbors still celebrate our independence the way we have for over two hundred years."
Have fun!

I am the National XO of USABOT the U.S. Army Brotherhood of Tankers and we have several Facebook pages where we pay attention to what some of our brothers are posting. We have local units where brothers are avaialable to actively assist a brother in need.
I don't see any of them as being ostentatious about it, I see the sleeplessness and the attempts to self medicate and the need for help.
We have a national officer in a resident program currently who once told me that "he had an Iraqi visit him in is dreams for the past 20 years" an ODS veteran..
I've never seen one of those signs.

IMO I think people that put out signs such as this are looking for attention. I have never met someone with PTSD that would broadcast to every Tom, Dick and Harry that they have PTSD.
