This ad just won 'Best Commercial' in The Netherlands.
It's incredible. But it also strikes home for the ones not suffering from PTSD.
Warning to readers who have PTSD. should this commercial air here in the US and a PSA to the horror of PTSD or would it do to much harm to the ones who have seen to much?

I'm responding to this thread now so that after I'm done working, I can come back and find this thread and watch the video since Facebook is blocked at work. Anyone here that has followed any of my posts knows how important I feel changing the discussion around PTSD is to our community.

Please let me know what you think, its short but has a big impact in that time. I think it could help Non-vets and service members understand PTSD. But it has the potential to negatively impact service members and vets who see it.

SPC Thomas Baldwin - Of course, that is why I commented. I think sometimes ads can do more good than bad for anything. Look at those crazy non-smoking ads, great to show the extreme impact smoking can have on someone but not so good when you just finished eating dinner. Those of us involved in changing the conversation around PTSD are working extremely hard to show that PTSD and those that suffer from it aren't to be feared or treated as some sort of crazy person. PTSD is simply my brain's normal reaction to a highly abnormal situation.
