I generally agree with Shaun but "dobbing someone in" is frowned upon in Australia. It's hard to explain. It's a cultural thing.

Yeah, being a snitch is frowned upon here too...
by the dishonest.
Lots of folks will use peer pressure to get away with things that they shouldn't.
What if he robbed someone's home or business? What if he robbed someone while holding them with some sort of weapon (knife, gun), what if he raped a drunk girl or killed someone? When is it OK and when isn't it.

Just as much as you can have two folks experience the same thing, and one is affected and one is not, you can have folks that get PTSD, and in one it fades away and the other it doesn't. Not everyone's mind works the same.

If you guys have never had ptsd, and are quick to condemn it don't fully understand the psychological side. Or let alone the current state of the armed forces. And the fact that those who serve are bottom of the barrel of society...
Ptsd sucks ****ing hardcore, and you don't need combat to get it. One of my good buddies witnessed a fellow sm blow his own head off. Ptsd diagnosed. Va benefit 0%. Was medically discharged for it instead of meb. Lives a semi normal life. Works the family business. Prolly couldn't do a normal job to be completely honest.
But as said it's someone's trigger. You guys are crass to judge someone's wounds on not being able to see them. And on that note. What pisses me off is the large number of motorcycle accidents that are in the mil that are being covered and getting rated on, and getting those precious pensions. Grinds my gears
What also grinds my gears is the rating system. You get 10% DoD and then can get 100% through the va. The va should match the DoD rating and not pay out on stupid non disqualifying conditions.

As AZPK and R both said, there's a lot of corruption going on. Where people are involved, there will always be corruption.
The problem is that we can never know what will affect someone and what won't because the same things don't affect everyone the same. Some folks may be knee deep in battle and be "fine" and other folks could be affected by something that seems more minor, but that doesn't make it any less impactful to the person that is affected.
