“who has ever been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)”
These guys were all by and large treated at VA facilities.
These libtards really have a lot of faith in the government health systems that they worship now don’t they?
Some of “these guys” didn’t have jobs. If they did, keeping them were sporatic at best. So using the VA system was there ONLY choice to get help. Some of the psychiatrists were total idiots! Telling my brother he just needed to get off his lazy *ss and go to work. Well, I can assure you, that wasn’t the problem!
I’ve watched my brother work. He worked hard. But it was at jobs that didn’t fit his academic achievements from earlier days at school. He left being one person and came back another. NEVER EVER smiling or laughing like he used too. A recluse, depressed. Having to grow all his food for his kids and wife. A Godly man, who took care of his inlaws, and our folks too.
But his “happiness, the spark of life” he was always known for, was gone. He didn’t dance anymore...
He was affected by what he endured, where my husband who helped in the MASH unit helping the Doc’s and nurses amputating arms and legs, who when he went out on a medicvac mission had bulletts hit patients as they medivaced them out and heard their screams, and had blood flying all around the cockpit. He came home just fine. Why one person is affected one way, and another differently is a matter of how the brain processes these images, these life experiences. But they are real, oh how they are real!
And we know that we haven’t had Vets running up and down the street shooting people. If ever there was a war to do stats about, it would be the Vietnam war. Thanks in large part to the reception we all got upon coming home. Add that to war, and put GUILT on what you went through and we’re lucky as a nation things didn’t go terribly wrong once they came home!
The VA was inept at helping our troops. I pray to God they are helping them now.
But RIGHT NOW they are about to loose their right to bear arms like they are criminals, like they are FELONS!
Every decent citizen needs to help them. They’ve been helping us, it’s the least we can do.
Please call your Senators, then pass around the letter with the link for the Senators Wash. DC phone numbers. We can’t let them down when there busy fighting an enemy that want’s us dead, and don’t even know this is happening!
