That article reads like a hatchet job. It's a lot easier to retain a security clearance than to apply for one when you have. You can argue that's unfair but a lot of intelligence roles are understaffed as is. It's also a very high stress job and a lot of employees turn to alcohol drugs as a coping mechanism.

Also, being sectioned isn't the same as a mental illness. Even PTSD is largely a made up concept.

American soldiers commit war crimes (or witness them happening by fellow soldiers), then years later feel guilty about it. Oh, so you can't stop thinking about that Iraqi family your colleagues massacred you were forced to keep quiet about? That's not guilt you're feeling, you have a mental illness!

Do you know the difference between a soldier feeling guilty and having PTSD? 6 months. The difference between an emotional response and a pathology is completely arbitrary and has no basis in science.

Historically it didn't exist because either soldiers knew what they were getting into, or were fighting a "good" moral war. American soldiers are in a unique position because they actually believe they are signing up for a good and moral cause, yet their actual deployments are like Nazi occupations.

I'd say it's pathological not to have some form of PTSD after a deployment somewhere like Afghanistan and Iraq. Anyone who comes out of those wars with a clean conscious is a psychopath.
Are you saying PTSD is fake or just PTSD for American soldiers are fake.

Funniest reply I've seen. Is the translation of PTT content also funded by the $500 million smear China budget? If so I would like to sign up and translate PTT too.

TSMC didn't see these problems coming?

Israel is not a U. S. colony, or a colony, at all. It is the final imperative of the dying British Empire, of which it, and the U. S. are imperial enforcers. All the more reason for Palestinian Statehood to be a cornerstone of Chinese foreign-policy. As soon asTaiwan declares independence, China recognizes the Palestinian State and immediately sends a package of economic and military aid (coordinated through Iran)!
Israel isn't a colony of America, it's more like America is a colony of Israel. The same people that created Israel in 1947, the Open Society type zionists, are the ones who wield the most power in America today. There's a reason why no American politician)can even consider becoming president without paying homage to the Israeli state first. Even RFK Jr, who's father and uncle were likely murdered by Mossad had to.

I doubt Israel would make such a move with regards to Taiwan without China doing something first. That is, as long as China doesn't deviate from its current position on Palestine. Israel didn't change their position on Russia despite everything the west is saying since the SMO.

Neither...I don't think American soldiers diagnosed with it are faking it, and I don't think PTSD is fake in itself. PTSD exists in as much as it's symptoms exist, people who go through trauma may end up developing symptoms of PTSD. The problem I've got is what constitutes PTSD today is significantly political in nature.

The absurdity of the current situation is easier to understand if you look at what was considered a mental illness in the past. An African slave wanting to run away was deemed to be mentally ill...southern doctors coined it drapetomania. Did some slaves want to run away? Certainly. But if you believed some races were destined to be enslaved as they used to in America, then it's perfectly understandable to name a cluster of symptoms a disease. The question whether to consider it a disease is entirely political.

With this assessment, I can agree! America is, most definitely, a colony of Israel!

Israel’s position on Taiwan is of no consequence; it’s China’s position on Palestine that can be leveraged against the Anglo/US/Zionist Empire. Without Jerusalem, the futuristic myth of Evangelical (white-supremacist) Christianity is revealed as fallacy, no resurrection, no rapture, no return, no permanent kingdom of white-supremacy (and, no-more billions of dollars in tax-free donations)!
