Why You Don’t See Me Writing About Some Very Popular “Service Dogs For Veterans” Stories
Posted on | July 13, 2009 | No Comments
If you ever see a service dog story, especially if it involves a wounded warrior or veteran with a disability, where everybody BUT me seems to be talking about it, chances are pretty good this is why – I wrote this post a little over three months ago, and it all still applies:
“Service Dogs, Veterans, and PTSD”
The only thing I’d change would be to change most, if not all, of the “PTSD” references to “post traumatic stress”. Uncle Jimbo definitely got my attention about not calling it a disorder with this “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Post Traumatic Stress Reaction?” post at the Warrior Legacy Foundation blog about six weeks after I’d written that, and I’ve tried to completely stop using the term ever since. I will still use the PTSD tag, but that’s simply a search thing that might help someone find something useful to them.
Other than that, though…I stand by what I said, even though I know it’s very much not the popular thing to say. And I’m just gonna leave it at that.
