Lotsa cracks showing there.
S/he's strong though.A couple of years away from the constant battle and s/he might turn around.

Yeah, hence I'll give her six years to recover from the aftermath in ME3 before starting the main arc of the comic.

(Paragon) Shepard shows cracks in the third game only, and even then only in the form of the occasional sleepless night. The Renagage version is rude and aggressive, but to call that PTSD is only an interpretation. These aspects of RenShep's personality could be anything, and are not necessarily an illness or even a character flaw (depending on how you play).
She saves the world three times and is basically cool about it. This is an extremely strong and well-adjusted soldier. Or, to put it another way, this is a video game hero. I don't think he requires any time at all to adjust.

My point being with renegade Shep the problems are more exposed and with Paragon Shep it's very much internalized.
Given the way Shep nearly tears Joker's head off after Thessia fell (Paragon mind you), the cracks are getting pretty close to the foundation by that point.
We'll probably not agree on this but I'll just drop it now.

You know who else thinks Commander Shepard has PTSD? Hitler!
You can't handle this rhetoric tag team.

I notice you didn't deny your Hitler connection - EH, COMRADE?? No need, Godwin's law states that any comparison made to Hitler made in an internet argument automatically loses said argument. As for the word comrade, that implies a connection on my part to Stalin, to which Godwin's law could also apply.
