We are close to treating PTSD of people who we sent to massacre other people, and we justified their massacre as heroic act. Great achievement for humanity!

It's not just veterans who have PTSD.
The article is about veterans.
Or it can be: people who went to protect us, and as it's an act which often requires serious sacrifice we praise them. And in any case treating PTSD is good in general.
Ah the old “The bombing of brown/asian people is to PROTECT us” chestnut!
Such a knee-jerk answer. Can you imagine we are not all Americans on this website?

Also, I dare to suggest, imagine not everything is about race.
