In reply to: Christa 's message, "Thanks for reposting, I wondered what you had learned. It definitely explains Mac's behavior and as Lee has pointed out, the writers couldn't have known this when developing the episode. Theresa makes a good point in her comments as well as to how much Mac had to endure in comparison to Harm. In one aspect it lends credence to why Harm wanted to table their "talk" when he did, but as we know, once again the "gorilla" got in the way. It also explains Harm's resiliency after the ramp strike and maybe even his imprisonment in China. Inside." on 10:34:13 03/22/08 Sat

Christa, I'm glad you brought up those traumatic events in Harm's life. I don't want to get into a side-by-side comparison of traumatic events for Mac and Harm (that way lies a huge battle here, IMO), but there is no doubt in my mind that both Harm and Mac underwent enough traumatic events in their careers (at least that we saw on-screen) to trigger PTSD. And given both characters' tendancy to keep things to themselves, I wouldn't be surprised if both didn't have some issues with PTSD. Certainly, Mac reacted much more strongly to many events, including the psycho hunters in Full Engagement. This new study linking both childhood experience and genetics does make a lot of sense. Who knows - maybe the writers were psychic.

I totally agree. Definitely not trying to start a huge war, just saw parallels between the two. I'd forgotten about the poachers and her response, guess I attributed it to the moment (having to kill the man and almost being raped and killed herself) definitely would fit the PTSD senario. Thanks!
