Re: Rossi is a former Marine

I doubt the damage we see in Gideon came from his Army days - they would have been, what, 35 or 40 years ago? I think his damage is more from the cumulative effects of all those gambles he's taken, especially the times he's lost.

And there's no reason Rossi shouldn't "get" the PTSD thing - it's not exclusive to the military. You can trust me on this one; those of us in public safety type jobs - cops, firefighters, paramedics, and so on - are very subject to it. I'm sure there are others.
