And I will freely admit that I haven't read the book, which means that I'm unable to make certain claims as to his specific experiences and/or the legitimacy of his reputation.

All I've read has been contained within news articles or interviews.

You'd have more support on this thread if you weren't speaking authoritatively from behind your own ignorance.

Did anybody think that HST's writing were of this dimension?

So it okay to embellish if ones frying hard on LSD ?

This book is about the ongoing problems in Israel/West Bank/Palestine. It's written by Israeli soldiers. I'm sure that one COULD think that it's chest thumping by members of the IDF, if one doesn't read it.

Maybe the sniper book is jingoistic tripe. But you don't know that. 'A modest proposal' wasn't about eating babies.

Is this post intended for me?

Could you please tell me how this post is at odds with anything I've said?

I've made absolutely no comment on the West Bank during this entire thread.

It seems to me that reading a book is sorta necessary before criticizing the person who wrote it, for the content of the book.

But what do I know..

I don't think it's embellishment if you are trippin'.

Not if there has been proven to contain factual errors.

It may be a good read, but it's factually inaccurate.

Nice to know you have a standard. Too funny. I suppose reading him would be much better if also tripping

You should read the book. I'm using the linked book/website to show that it can be probematic to judge a book by the cover.

And again, you COULD be right, the book COULD be crap.

What book exists that doesn't have some error of some kind?

What are the factual inaccuracies?

And Ron Paul is absolutely right, treating PTSD at a gun range doesn't make a lot of sense.

Now let's take a burn victim out on a fire truck.

Well when they are bullsh!t spun out of thin air by the writer, then we have a problem with credibility.

But to your point, I believe honest mistakes are acceptable as long as the writer does his due diligence.

**CalgaryHawkFan** · 02-05-2013, 06:23 PM

So then you'll read it.

Such utter and complete Bull SH!T. PTSD doesn't come from some sort of soul searching and questioning the legitimacy of one's orders. It comes from Trauma like the threat of impending death, seeing others die, strong disturbing visuals or experiences. Speaking as someone who had a roomate who suffered from PTSD, he didn't jump out of bed from a dead sleep, grab his gun and squat in the corner of his room after I accidentally dropped some pans from the cupboards because he thought he was lied to about his mission.

I swear you get dumber every time you post.
