I'm not here to discuss whether she's being abused or not but to find support to help her.

Emotional and verbal abuse is nothing you can help her with. You can't call the cops. You can't convince her she's good enough to deserve better. If he's threatened her, stalked her, fraudulently represented her financial interests then you've got something. If he's physically abused her then you already know what to do. What you have right now is an amateur diagnosis of vet with PTSD. If you want to help her, call the VA. I know they have programs that mandate he come in for counseling and analysis. Your friend can get on board as the family member who initiates it without having her identity disclosed. Typically it's not easy to convince abused people to leave. Helping him is probably the best bet to fix something.
