Sumario:	The article discusses the stereotyping of the military service member as a troubled stranger, a person suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) resulting from war exposure. Topics covered include surveys that show poor public opinion for America's participation in wars, the homogenization of PSTD as a catch-all for varied trauma disorders, and the all-volunteer force condition of service that constitutes a faulty social contract.
