I've no experience with the military, js, so I am taking a huge guess based on my father, who served in Korea. He didn't live in two different worlds simultaneously, like Nick. He had his days in the war and his days as a civilian.
To my surprise, I found out not so long ago that my father suffered from PTSD as the result of his days in the Korean War. He never sought treatment for it, but instead got a job on the police force, married, and eventually got over it. He never even went to the VA until he was in his late 70s and that was to get hearing aids and treatment for his back. So, while he kept his two worlds separate, apparently the effects of his military service crept into his civilian life.
You and I have talked about the frog girl episode several times and was thinking about the episode again today, actually before syscrash asked me about it. I know you believe Nick did the right thing in letting her go. I do not.
There are a few things about the episode that continue to bug me. First and foremost, this is another of Grimm's dumbest wesen attributes, next to the invisible woge. There is no natural reason for these women to have poisonous skin, other than for Nick to feel sorry for them and so he lets the pretty one go. Then there's the question of who mated with a poison dart frog way back when and why?
Second, I don't get why these women haven't devised some sort of anti-venom to protect those around them. Because they have not, and the pretty one knows she's poisonous and can inflict death with merely a touch, it's her fault. There's no other way around it.
Third, I have to wonder about Nick himself on this one. If the frog girl had weighed 300 pounds, had stringy greasy hair and was six foot one, would he have arrested her? I'd lay odds the answer would be in the affirmative and that just tells me right there Nick is not as objective as he thinks he is.
Just some thoughts on the frog girl.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
