U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., claims she’s been overcome with post-traumatic stress disorder due to recent tension between the U.S. and Iran — but Republicans aren't buying it.
Omar, 38, said at a news conference yesterday she’s “felt ill” because of “everything that is taking place” in the Middle East. (Snip) But others called Omar out for her remark, including Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., who said it was shameful.
“This is a disgrace and offensive to our nation’s veterans who really do have PTSD after putting their life on the line to keep America safe,” Banks tweeted.

She didn't seem to be suffering PTSD while she listened to Sheila Jackson Lee talk about the horrors of war. Seemed to me she was having a good time. Smiling and laughing. Totally at ease. She needs to relocate.

Apparently, Anthony Clark believes he's the only veteran to suffer PTSD and everyone else should STFU? It's probably only me, but I always wonder about 'veterans' that push the liberal, anti-military, anti veteran, baby killing, pro-muslim party!

I wouldn't be too sad if (heaven forbid) that detestable little Sixir were to be Soleimani'd.

I believe her. I think she's been so traumatized by Islam that she is bat-do crazy. PTSD could explain everything.

If that is true then she is not tough enough to be a congress person. But it's a lie and she's a muslim drama queen.
Any American patriot would be happy about the death of one of the worst terrorists in the world. She obviously sympathizes with the murdering muslim side. Liar and traitor needs to be dismissed and deported.

Go to any Veterans Hospital, and see real PTSD----men who during battle were under fire from all sides with their comrades' brains and body parts splattered over them. All wars have resulted in horrific experiences that led to legitimate PTSD, but it was called by different names (such as shell shock). Yes, horrific things can happen to children to generate a condition of PTSD, but this woman's so-called normal life belies that it happened to her to the degree that it led her to be broken with PTSD. PTSD is deep and life-changing. Many who suffer it do not talk about the horrific conditions of weeks and months on end that caused it. They are broken men. My uncle's World War I shell shock, prompted by trench warfare in France and German mustard gas, ruined his life and eventually caused his death by suicide. That's PTSD, my dear.
Many years ago while driving at 65 miles per hour in the dead of night on I-45, I topped a hill and immediately encountered a bull directly in my path. The Texas Highway Patrol on the scene said two things saved us: (1) I kept control of the car, did not swerve, and drove right through him (he broke the windshield and was thrown up in the air over the car, landing far back behind it and dying immediately). (2) We were in a large car with seat belts on. We could easily having been killed, and when the local law enforcement heard of the type of accident that was called in, they called in Care Flight on stand by. As it was, my pearls were not even broken and our only other casualties were windshield glass in our eyes and my colleague's torn hosiery. The car, of course, was totaled.
That was a horrific experience, and when I saw that we couldn't avoid hitting him, I truly believed that we would die. To this day I have memories that blind-side me just out of the blue. *** As bad as it is, it is not PTSD. *** It's called a flashback, and I lead a healthy and productive life today. That is probably the kind of residual experience this stupid and disrespectful woman might have had, unless she is completely lying and had nothing horrific happen to her at all.
As others have already posted, her comments are insulting and disrespectful to those who suffer with this almost untreatable condition.

As I understand it, her family were among those willingly performing mass executions in Somalia so I rather doubt it traumatized her very much.

What #8 said. In a lot of current popular fiction her character would meet her demise. My character of choice would be Gabriel Allon.
I wouldn't shed a tear. Just the opposite.

PTSD? Probably from being a brother-marrying, home-wrecking Islamic extremist.

Rep. Ilhan Omar is proving what everyone already suspected. She is not fit to govern. She hates America, and supports its enemies. She is the Democrats problem. What are they going to do about her? Nothing. This is what's getting pushed to the front of the line in the Democratic party.

What is it that Islamic females get when they arrive in heaven, according to Islam? Is it 72 virgins or are they just for Islamic males? If Ms. Omar is getting PTSD from this nonsense, just she wait until General Election night 2020. Her PTSD will be out the roof when Mr. Trump gets reelected.

Interesting question about what female muslims get when going to 'heaven'...certainly can't be 72 virgins, since that would make them messing with other females,which isn't Islamic, and I doubt there are 72 males available since they are all broken in on goats...so what do they get?

#13, I have to ask - did you get to keep the meat? (I have picked up freshly killed - road killed- deer, and the venison is better than ones I had shot.)

Amen, #16! I adore Gabriel Allon and he could surely give her some real trauma to suffer from.

Ilhie, sounds like you need some help, girl. Perhaps resign and join the military and see if that pretend PTSD is for real or not.

Not even opening the article. I hate looking at her. Seems to me she just made a case for mental health and should be forced to resign.
If she really cares, leave and go there.

The more she talks, the less sense she makes. But it is clear where her heart, loyalty and sympathies lie. Not with the United States of America.
