Simpson was taken into custody at his unit on Fort Bragg with the assistance of the Fort Bragg Military Police. Detectives with the FPD’s Special Victims unit were assisted by the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division agents, WTVD reported.

Apparently, not only the macho, hell for leather spirit of the 82nd Airborne and Special Forces, but also some of the racism may rub off on the hundreds of international special forces including troops from Germany, France, Great Britain, the Ukraine, and Australia who train at Ft. Bragg for varying periods each year.

the question is what got me involved with Troop skeptics on the old forum and into fights with vile rat etc., my personal experience with how much differently the court system in a military-heavy state treats, say, the PTSD claims of a discharged rear-line Army clerk vs. those of his wife whose hand he broke by slamming it against a kitchen counter. The conflation of traumatic brain injury with PTSD dovetails with contradictory claims of PTSD suffered by drone pilots and represents the warping of united states political culture toward the cult of the military in everything from the crime rate to the welfare state. only two types of people have "real" post traumatic stress in the propaganda version of the world, 1) those who have fought for the "right" side and 2) their enemies, with Our Troops suffering for their noble deeds & the bad guys suffering because of mistreatment by their bosses, with both reflecting the unconscious guilt people feel in the u.s. for what the military actually does. and so like magic, domestic concerns about health coverage are transformed into support for 1) funding the military and 2) funding the military. post traumatic stress is real, claims by most u.s. military members are farcical given the casualty numbers in recent wars, and the number one provider of post traumatic stress to the world is the united states military.

Good post. I agree with everything except this (unless I misunderstood).
If you mean enemies as in ISIS fighters, for example, they are never treated by media (or otherwise) as anything other than rabid animals. The only western countries where this is different is in Sweden (and I believe Finland also) where returning fighters are offered counseling and integration/de-radicalization services. Although that led to a public outcry.
Even civilian casualties and suffering is rarely mentioned unless it can be blamed on the enemy.
The foundation of war, and indeed the job of war-time media, is the constant dehumanization of the enemy. Acknowledging PTSD as anything other than a tragic sacrifice by the noble good guys is not possible as the enemy are never conceived to be fully human. As you point out it serves to manipulate the public discourse so even the common anti-war position seeks to "bring our troops home" rather than end civilian deaths from endless illegal and imperialist war.

in the u.s. the press likes to publish "i was a terrorist" stories about how terrible and traumatizing it was to whatever anonymous source the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights coughs up.
like:

note how these two guys neatly slide from "isis is way too fucked up for us, hardened islamo-monsters, to bear" to "oh yes drones are good, american bombing is the only thing that can help us now"

cnn posted:The two men are part of a program NDS run called the Popular Uprising Program, intended to harness local militants to fight ISIS.
They aren't described as 'enemies', but rather agents of an Afghan intelligence program fighting ISIS (i.e. allies).
The woman is described as 'young', 'seduced' and 'regretful of her immersion in radical Islam', with no indication being given of her having been involved in anything more than dress-code police. Not an enemy but a misguided damsel lacking any agency and therefore readily preyed upon by the actual enemy.
Either way, neither article mentioned PTSD specifically. I did a number of google searches trying to find articles mentioning PTSD in enemy combatants but couldn't find anything substantial. Although I'm not exposed to the same media as you so perhaps you are right and I fail to see it.
It's perhaps a rather small point I'm taking issue with though.
According to a 2012 study by the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center (AFHSC) the risk to ones life is lower for soldiers than for civilians:
In the past two decades (which include two periods of intense combat operations), the crude overall mortality rate among U.S. service members was 71.5 per 100,000 . In 2005, in the general U.S. population, the crude overall mortality rate among 15-44 year olds was 127.5 per 100,000 p-yrs.
The huge difference is quite astonishing. The death rate for soldiers would still have been lower than for civilians if the U.S. had started another medium size war:
If the age-specific mortality rates that affected the U.S. general population in 2005 had affected the respective age-groups of active component military members throughout the period of interest for this report, there would have been approximately 13,198 (53%) more deaths among military members overall.
