Do you have any evidence of the "war veteran" part of this, or literally anything to indicate that he has PTSD besides your own assertion that he "probably" has it? The only thing I can find is that he was in Afghanistan but never saw any combat. Are there things in Afghanistan that could cause PTSD? Sure. Is there any evidence that he has PTSD? Not that I've seen.
You know who probably does have massive PTSD? The cuffed guy in the back that was almost executed by two cops because one of them was so effing stupid that he thought he'd been shot by an acorn. He did not "react accordingly." He reacted like a trigger-happy moron. The only useful part of this is that he's resigned.
The talibans Asymetrical warfare and the resulting Paranoya itself can give PTSD
If you spend years always expecting an ambush, always being told to expect an ambush, you will see an ambush everywhere. Even if you never were actually ambushed.
Not that i'm defending him, but asymetrical warfare can and will fuck you up.
The Taliban's methods of warfare, in and of themselves, don't even meet criterion A for a PTSD diagnosis. The man wouldn't necessarily have to be in combat to meet that, but it's a lot more likely if he did (which, by all evidence I've seen, he didn't).
Being paranoid is not PTSD.
Which diagnostic standard are you using? None of the ones I have use letters.
I tend to diagnose with better tests than a physician's desk reference, but you do you.
Apparently whatever you're using doesn't have letters in it, so I assume it also doesn't have words, since those tend to be made of letters. I'm fine with this. You can do whatever the voices and crystals are telling you.
Your stunning grasp of language shows why you're only using (and misunderstanding) the dsm.
Prove it.
The American’s asymmetrical warfare and the resulting paranoia itself can give you PTSD.
If you spend years always expecting a drone bombing your wedding, always being told to expect a drone bombing your wedding, you will see a drone bombing your wedding everywhere.
Even if your wedding never were actually drone bombed.

The DSM-5.
