PTSD Deserves Purple Heart

19. Medical Community needs to step up as well as Veterans

The Purple Heart is a medically - related award, now with that said it should be left up to the Medical professionals. If it affects someone and has caused damage to parts of the brain then how can this not be an example of a wound? Combat-Related PTS should warrant the Purple Heart, it's time to stop making the Purple Heart to be about being a tough guy or hardened soldier and more about common sense and duty and consequences of that combat duty. By the way, nobody sets out to be wounded in combat, most of the time front line soldiers will get banged up and see way more than any human being should resulting in internal wounds. One can argue that a soldier with combat related PTS is in essence a walking wound.
