A Response To Tim Kennedy’s ‘Stop Being A P****’ Message For Veterans With PTSD

Obviously this Green Beret doesn't have any idea what he's talking about when it comes to PTSD. I wish it as easy to be rid of it as he says there is. He may not realize he has it until much later in life, like myself. One of my best friends and a pilot I gunned for, in Vietnam, never talked about it. He said he's ok. Nothing from over there bothers him. He was 77, had just retired from his business, and two years ago he shot himself in the head, and died. This could happen to anyone with PTSD, no matter your age.

Task & Purpose CEO Zach Iscol responds to Tim Kennedy, "If you have the courage to get help, and you get the right help, you can get better."
In a recent viral Facebook post, MMA fighter and U.S. Army Green Beret Tim Kennedy wrote that to get over post-traumatic stress disorder you need to “stop being a pussy.” The post set off a vigorous debate as to whether there’s any merit to Kennedy’s tough-love argument, or if he’s simply being insensitive to the countless veterans who suffer from PTSD.
