Jesus is anyone going to even WATCH the video before jumping to conclusions? I mean it's not even a minute long.
If that's what consistutes an "attack" on vets with PSTD then I don't even know what to say anymore. Any outlet reporting this story using that kind of headline can go to hell, seriously.

I still think he is intentionally trying to lose
Trump meant this, well Trump meant that.
You say that in context of a thread title "Trump just called vets with PTSD weak" where meaning was assigned to a statement in which he didn't use the word "weak".
You are such a god damn clown.

I agree. Now imagine your family committed that, how do you feel about someone saying they're "not as strong" as someone who didn't?

his comment was a testament to the strength of those who can endure what they go thru over there. not a condemnation of those who cant. i would see it as such
im sorry, i cant get outraged over this, because i know (and i think we all know) what he meant
and for the record, fukk trump. im not voting for him

Biden: Trump 'completely uninformed' on veterans and PTSD
By Jessie Hellmann

Vice President Joe Biden chastised Donald Trump Monday for his comments about veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), calling the GOP presidential nominee "thoroughly and completely uninformed."
Many have interpreted remarks Trump made Monday about veterans and PTSD as a slight, though the campaign insists his comments were misrepresented by the media.
"Where in the hell is he from?" Biden asked at a campaign stop for Hillary Clinton in Sarasota, Fla.
"I don't think he was trying to be mean. He is just so thoroughly, completely uninformed."
Biden, who said he has been "in and out" of Afghanistan and Iraq more than 29 times, said the U.S. has only one sacred obligation and that is to "care for those we send to war and to care for them and their family when they come home."
"What are the chances Trump honors commitment to those who are wounded?
"It's not just that he doesn't get it. He doesn't want to find out," Biden added.
Discussing mental health problems, Trump said: "When people come back from war and combat and they see maybe what people in this room have seen many times over — and you’re strong and you can handle it — but a lot of people can’t handle it and they see horror stories."
He later added: "We are losing so many great people who could be taken care of if they had proper care.”
Trump’s remarks were received warmly by the veterans at the town hall event moderated by Christian leader Tony Perkins.
But the phrasing he used, describing some veterans being “strong” and able to “handle it” provoked backlash, as media outlets ran with headlines that Trump had suggested that if you suffer from PTSD, it’s because you are weak.
His remarks provoked backlash from some media outlets and both Democratic and Republican politicians.
The Trump campaign later released a statement accusing the media of misrepresenting his words.
“The media continues to operate as the propaganda arm of Hillary Clinton as they took Mr. Trump’s words out of context in order to deceive voters and veterans — an appalling act that shows they are willing to go to any length to carry water for their candidate of choice," said Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a top Trump surrogate said in a statement.

One of the more grossly ignorant public statements I've ever heard, and the people in this thread coping pleas for this foolishness have completely lost their minds (pun intended).
There isnt any positive or negative correlate between strength and having PTSD. Not so ironically, only an insane and narcissistic idiot would draw that kind of relationship. The human brain is far too complex for such a ridiculous quantification, especially when discussing those exposed to mental traumas and severe psychological stress. How on earth are you measuring such a relationship? The solider who bottles up and ignores the internal issues he's facing, and expresses them in destructive ways, is "stronger" than the man who acknowledges his problems and seeks professional treatment and help? The exact opposite defines "strength".
Even with someone who on the surface "deals" with their PTSD w/o developing drug/alcohol problems, emotional issues, or personality disorders, who's to say they wont be triggered in the future? Im sure a guy like Chris Benoit considered himself "strong" by ignoring his mental problems, until the day he snapped and decided to wipe out his whole family.
This is the trump effect people feared and predicted. A man who degrades the public discourse by approaching serious issues with rank buffoonery, making everyone dumber in the process.
