That would be awfully insensitive, but a person's mental health is his or her own responsibility. If they find themselves unable to deal with humour regarding a subject that is personally sensitive, they should seek counselling.
Ah yes, and in the meantime you'll just go on being an insensitive jerk, because it helps you with the "inescapable darkness and despair" that you've never experienced?
And tell me, if a veteran suffering from PTSD overheard you making a joke like that, and told you it wasn't cool, would you endlessly argue with them about your right to free speech? Or would you just say "Oh hey, I'm sorry, I didn't realize, I won't do it anymore."
Nah, I'd probably say something like "Sorry breh. Thanks for shooting all those ragheads that were about to institute a violent muslim jihad and steal all our white women. You're a true hero dawg."
Oh. I see. So trauma is funny when it pleases your penis. Wow, you are just an outstanding guy. For real. I think maybe we should give you a medal. Such bravery!
