Good question. I am not an expert so my comment is only a guess but I would agree with you that the treatment is very similar. But then I have never argued it was not just that the wording of the diagnosis should be different.

I am still firmly planted on the other side of the fence. Nice emotional article Zipper and it does give one pause but it is not what I was arguing and it is not a logical argument just an emotional one. We can all agree I think on this last statement as it pertains to the getting help issue...

Rifleman,   Nice to see you at the site. I will place that book on my wish list. I served with both Task Force Alpha and Bravo as the BC and the FOO/FAC/NGO(NGOs used cruise missiles, to cut off the obvious question what would a NGO be doing in Bosnia). I also did the recce for the force when...

Very sad to hear. He will be playing golf on the best course in town now. I served with Mr Dearman when I was a TC and he a TSM of another troop. He was always a well respected man that gave good council to his officers and developed his soldiers like a father. Stand easy Paul. :salute: :cdn:

It was Arars conduct that placed him on the watch list no matter how innocent it was. It was his refusal to talk with the RCMP that placed a red flag beside his watch list name. My suggestion was that it is plausible that at the first instance his cooperation could have avoided this entire mess...

The RCMP Commissioner did the honourable thing. He did nothing wrong but it would appear that someone did and he is protecting them and falling on his sword, that is a fine example of leadership. I trust the RCMP will do all the needed fixes to ensure this does not happen again. I feel bad for...

Oh Bobby, Bobby you pays your money you takes your chances. He must be used to all that union money paying the way of the NDP...not anymore sonny your in the big leagues now.

Took me a few seconds but thier he was, boots first....too funny.

Muddy,   I think George was being sarcastic, this is a can of worms as Teddy has stated so many times and very well. This award will be very divisive and difficult to sort out. The back date thing is very valid. Many and I mean many soldiers will get these for the fighting in Croatia and...

Strike,   You posed a good theory. I would suggest that it is only a portion of the reason though. I would suspect that the change in treatment in the late 90s by therapists to add spouses to the therapy sessions brought spouses into direct contact with medical staff who then diagnosed the PTSD...

I do like the tought that the Liberals are the EN ;D And everyone knows no plan survives contact with the En.

When you put it in the context of Liberal interpretation I can see how it would be plausible. Be that as it may is a liberal interpretation responsible.

Spud,   Sorry for the sarcasm when I included you. Thanks for your concern. Still trying to define the issue on spouse its not about lack of empathy its about confusing reality. We keep trotting out the criteria and the definition is clouded and the current interpretation appears to be a...

SMMT,    thanks, good response, causes some reflection. If this is the criteria: "1. The person has been exposed to a traumatic event in which both of the following were present:              1. The person experienced, witnessed, or was confronted with an event or events that involved actual...

Question still stands. "My question is what is going on with these diagnosis for PTSD in the spouse?" Oh ya I did not say they were Bogus that is your words. Lets hope someone more learned than you or me can fill in the details here as I don't know that is why I asked the question. Yes I have an...

No SME here on this issue. Just asking the question and giving my position. Guess I'm the crazy one. I will climb down off my high horse now and realize you must be right and I must be wrong. On that news then I will ensure my spouse gets to the claim centre and gets the help she so well...

Does not matter now...Dion wins = Harper wins

Fully agree, this could not be a better result. Dion will lose PQ as they will all vote Block and the ON people will hate that another francophone is going to lead the country. The west will just roll over as usual to the conservative default. We are going to win a big majority now....cant wait...

  Call me crazy, but in no way can I even consider this a valid use of the diagnosis criteria. Yes the criteria threashold has been lowered in the latest years to include more diagnosis but this is going too far IMHO. It was enough that the lowering of the criteria allowed people who have never...

  "Most definitely it does." - Obviously we agree on that. Does it get diagnosed as PTSD is the final issue? "3rd, give your head a shake.  I thought you were very knowledgeable of the symptoms and causes, as you have claimed, to know it can affect wives as well." - I am knowledgeable, I dont...
