As it happens, veterans as a group have a high incidence of PTSD, which is what trigger warnings are supposed to be about.


Of course, their triggers tend to be things like loud noises, not ideas they disagree with or words they find scary.


I'm not aware of any veterans with PTSD ever asking for trigger warnings though.


That doesn't mean they can't benefit from it.
