PTSD, something that the anti-firework brigade are quick to quote in their bid to ban fireworks.
They use it in a "blanket" or "Sweeping" statement with the focus that all people people suffering from PTSD, typically veterans, are "tortured" by fireworks.....
Meet Nathan, retired Section Commander from 2 lancs, served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He suffers dramatically from PTSD, even a door slamming shut can trigger him in to taking cover under cars, behind walls, dragging his wife out of bed to protect her, literally he is the epitome of post war PTSD.
The picture and video say it all, his first year in many where he has celebrated bonfire night with his family.
He refuses to let his condition prevent his family from enjoying the delights of fireworks, and he refuses to accept, infact contests that all PTSD sufferers would want fireworks banning.
He thinks most veterans are Pro fireworks, and doesn't agree millions should be refused the right to a free world and use fireworks in a 400 year old british tradition!
He like many PTSD sufferers are fed up of being used as a weapon for the anti-firework brigade. So please, the next time you see the anti-fireworks mob using PTSD in their arguments, give them a bit of truth!
