VA e-mail urges misdiagnosing PTSD victims

Once again, brave veterans are getting stabbed in the back by stupid, incompetent assholes.

In an internal e-mail, a high-ranking Veterans Affairs Department employee recommended avoiding diagnosing vets with post-traumatic stress disorder, even if it's clear they suffer from PTSD. The reason? To keep from paying as much disability benefits.

Whoever sent this e-mail ought to be a contender for the Worst Person of the Decade award.

So now conservatives are calling PTSD a hoax (just like how they claim climate change is a hoax)?

How can the VA be so worried about spending too much on disability payments, when the Pentagon loses millions of dollars and Bush wastes billions on an illegal war?

Some veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts already say they believe they were misdiagnosed with an adjustment disorder instead of PTSD just so they wouldn't get the money the VA owes them.
