If this was a study on ptsd in assault survivors you could make the exact same comment asking why they didn’t try it in veterans (and I have no reason to doubt someone would)

That would be an extremely odd comment to make, though. Not only does the category "assault survivor" obviously not exclude veterans, why would you single them out to care about?

What a strange and presumptive thing to say. I'm wondering why not all PTSD cases, why specifically this relatively small group?

Like, obviously we should treat veterans with PTSD, but the article is unclear about whether it's just them.

Because then it’s another variable in the study.

That's a reasonable answer!

It's also much easier to get a veteran's medical history, relative to other American populations.
