Considering that the thread is about military dishonesty, not the experience itself, I'm not sure what the above post has to do with anything. Should a therapist who hasn't "been there and done that" be disqualified from trying to help PTSD victims? In my opinion your comments are a little on the dismissive side.
Oh, while we're on the subject, where and when was your service?

I completely agree with this. In this case honesty really is the best policy.

I also do not agree on statements like 'you were never in the military, you cannot judge how it is' and that stuff. Sure you do not get the whole picture...but btw...do you really get it when you were there...have you really seen all?

As do I. I've been there and done that, and no, I don't claim to know anything except my experience and those of others I've known.
