You do not know that it does bother them and you do not know that they will/may suffer PTSD. This is all your opinion, which is what this board and thread are composed. When the interviews come out with the Seal/s who shot OBL we will know. Until that time we will all have our opinion as to what effect it will have on them and whether this event is deserving of a celebration.

When I see the Seal who shot OBL breakdown and cry or tell us he is shaken to the core and suffers all sorts of psychological problems, I will know that you were right. Until that time we will not know and my beliefs/opinions are just as valid as yours.
