Should those who suffer from combat PTSD be recognized as casualties? How legitimate is mental illness in comparison to a physical injury? With this, should it be appropriate for a man/woman with PTSD to receive a purple heart?

^Exactly.
However, what about those who really have a hard time dealing with what they've experienced. You never know what exactly can cause someone to snap. |

Weaker people. Being weak doesn't constitute a medal or commendation. Not everyone is created equal, and not everyone deserves to be treated equal. That shit just doesn't work in our society, though it seems some people push for it. |
