Feb 5, 2015 at 15:27 comment added geewhiz I said it COULD have been PTSD. It may not have been. If it was and they got him counseling for it, they may have promoted him anyway. It could have also been a chip on his shoulder for being left behind or he didn't like working with Red Shirt Riker (still an accurate reference). Once Starfleet figured out the exact situation, they could promote him or whatever based on their findings.

Feb 5, 2015 at 14:52 comment added user16696 Denying promotion due to ptsd from trauma experienced during the line of duty through no fault of his own, when his actions resulted in the successful saving of other lives, is called rubbing salt in the wound. It's cruel and Unlike Star Fleet to do to a person (Data aside).
