PTDS is a real mental problem
Never said it wasn't.

Please don't minimize the horror of war
I'm former USMC - did 13 months on the DMZ '67-'68.
The last person I need preaching to me is some feckin' blue water squid.

I didn’t mean to preach, just wanted to make my point from my talks with combat Vets. I apologize if I offended you. Apparently, you came back intact. BTW, welcome home, Marine.

Hey, why are we focusing on “real” or “made up” PTSD.
Some people are more affected by war trauma than others, and in different ways.

Most vets are ashamed to ask for help, feeling its a sign of weakness. Lets just push the VA to treat those that need it and hold the Va accountable.

By the way Marine, where was the “DMZ”? What was the latitude? Where was your unit stationed?
