Well then we differ on the point of empathy I know someone very close with PTSD and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone not even a terrorist.

It may be that you are correct; I am noted for a lack of empathy. The anguish caused by any mental condition in the case of anyone close to us can of course change our view of it.

Schizophrenia and autism, for example, gallop through my family, and I find myself perhaps overly sensitive on the subject. Given my own lack of empathy, it might be that my feelings on the subject are in fact appropriate, as jokes about schizophrenics are not high on my chuckle list.

My best wishes to you and to the one you know with PTSD, and my most sincere apologies if I belittled the condition.
