I'm reminded of an episode some time back when I got a call from my sister in the middle of the night...her husband who is a Nam Marine vet with PTSD had stuck a knife to her throat calling her some name common to a Nam woman and then shoved her out of the house saying, "You shall proceed in the dark like we did."
Even after that, it took a couple of years and lots of effort to finally get him some treatment and benefits...the guy can't hold down any sort of real job...he's often preoccupied with the "thousand yard stare".
I've started a number of these sorts of threads on a number of different forums...they tend to not get much attention yet so many claim to "support our troops"...what a bunch of fucking bullshit!!!
