At 93rd Annual Conference of the American Legion in Minneapolis, President Obama stated: “The days when depression and PTSD were stigmatized -- those days must end”, simultaneously branding PTSD as the “signature wound of this war” and underlining that some of our veterans are not getting “the prompt mental health care that they desperately need”… During Obama’s reign, the histrionic “concern” about military mental health becomes poster child for labelling technique which boasts innuendos, hyperboles and direct patronizing. Senator Feinstein (Senate Judiciary Committee meeting, March 2013),even implied that veterans can’t be trusted with assault weapons:” I think we have to – if you’re going to do this, find a way that veterans who are incapacitated for one reason or another mentally, don’t have access to this kind of weapon”.
