Sally Satel slanderer of PTSD Veterans getting facetime on CSPAN

She is a witch at the very least.

1. Satel claims PTSD vets just don't want to work

and they therefore are "faking" it.

I was flabbergasted to read Sally Satel's March 1, 2006 New York Times Op-Ed, "For Some, the War Won't End," describing the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as creation of a suspicious "culture of trauma" providing veterans a "free ride" as they approach retirement age. A flag immediately went up for me because of my own history with PTSD, but also because Satel is a former VA psychiatrist who now is a resident scholar at the very biased, neoconservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI). AEI is a very wealthy think tank funded largely by old-line conservative family money such as the Scaife and Olin Foundations, and is closely associated and shares headquarters with the Project For A New American Century (PNAC), the latter offering a 1997 blueprint for an aggressive, unilateral U.S. global hegemony, including domination of Middle Eastern and Central Asian energy reserves.
