Sean Hannity says" I know all about this. We're talking about post traumatic stress."

Thank you Sean Hannity! You just shocked me!

It feels as if I just had one of my biggest prayers answered and Sean Hannity did it. I can't believe I'm posting this. For years I've complained about FOX not paying attention to PTSD when they have such a huge audience and thus, great power in addressing this. The fact that Hannity covered this may have just saved some lives but at the very least, let veterans know that PTSD is nothing to be ashamed of.

It has been covered on CNN and MSNBC but not enough to reach as many veterans as this did. Facing reality here, FOX has been watched by more veterans so they play a huge roll in all of this. Up until now, the coverage has just not been there to the degree this crisis deserves.

LISA LING, "OUR AMERICA": Peter Alred (ph) can't sleep. He's on high alert, like he was in combat in Iraq, eight years ago. His kids are safe in bed and his wife is worried.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He's always in fear, waiting for something terrible to happen.
LING: But even the most secure bunker can't keep out the memories that haunt him and make life unbearable.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He feels like he's broken. And he feels like me and the kids would be better off if he were dead.

SEAN HANNITY, HOST: That was a clip from "Our America With Lisa Ling" on the Oprah Winfrey Network and in this Sunday's episode, Lisa uncovers what she calls the "invisible wounds of war." And joining me now to explain more about all this is Lisa Ling.
Good to see you, welcome back.

LING: Thanks for having me, Sean.

HANNITY: Appreciate you being here. You know, I know all about this. We're talking about post traumatic stress.
