Hey Reed,
Not to be the devil's advocate herein, but what exactly is a pretty good idea what can be safely disclosed?

What happens to a returning soldier diagnosed with PTSD? He/She enters rehab, no longer fit for promotion, no longer eligible for yet another tour in Iraq?

I know there were some when I retired who flat out refused to disclose health issues, but that's slightly different when entering the civilian world without sight or hearing. Or is it?
