Obama's mythical uncle who liberated Auschwitz also suffered from PTSD - we probably s/h sat out that war.

Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic. “Now obviously, something had really affected him deeply, but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” Obama said. “That’s why this idea of making sure that every single veteran, when they are discharged, are screened for post-traumatic stress disorder and given the mental health services that they need – that’s why it’s so important.”

Problems - the Soviet Army liberated Auschwitz and Obama doesn't have an uncle (except maybe a Kenyan one and he wouldn't have fought in WWII). Yet another gaffe?
