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?

My mistake, I didn't mean to call them weak, I just felt that it might affect some easier than others, and for the some to get rewarded for what the others were able to withstand, I don't think would be fair. However, I suppose fairness isn't really something of any worth nowadays.
Idk, I don't want it to seem like I'm saying "To hell with people who get PTSD,"
