Military Officer - February 2006 - (Page 18) yourviews with the call to cancel reviews of PTSD claims. Well, I couldn’t disagree more with you. I have to assume that you have not read Jug Burkett’s and Glenna Whitley’s magnificently documented volume, Stolen Valor. In part II of this book you will find out about the massive abuse of the VA health care system by, among others, people (note I do not say veterans) claiming PTSD. … Given the facts documented in Stolen Valor and elsewhere, it is the height of irresponsibility not to look closely at such claims. While MOAA is and should be an advocate for veterans, it cannot be blinded by cries of “insensitivity.” I remember being constantly reminded not to abuse my commissary and exchange privileges so they would still be available in the future. The same logic applies here. Lt. Col. Patrick R. Glass, USA-Ret. Westminster, Md.
