>"Sometimes we are [portrayed by the media as] plagued by PTSD and associated terrors. [...] The reality is very different."

You've misrepresented what he said in that paragraph.

"Most of all, we are often portrayed as mindless automatons that are incapable of independent thought. The reality is very different."

He made no comment on the prevalence of PTSD.

I took him saying "the reality is very different" to apply to all the media portrayals given in the paragraph. My bad if that's not accurate.

I can see how you read it that way. Apologies if I was overly harsh and thanks for addressing my criticism.
