All of our veterans, including these men, deserve only the very best care and consideration.

I saw stats the other day that half of the Vietnam Vets had gone to the PTSD well. When you realize that that includes the REMFs, you are probably getting over 100% for the guys that saw combat. Numbers here (Table 1): https://www.ptsd.va.gov/professional/research-bio/research/vietnam-vets-study.asp
Military sexual trauma can also lead to PTS and the survivors should also be treated.
FYI...Cohen Veterans Network will do outpatient counseling for free for veterans AND their families who can also develop PTS. They are a growing organization and are going mobile like the VA can offer in some areas.
no they don’t...
it may not have been the PTSD that caused them to commit crimes...
they may have done so even if they had not joined the military...
what kind of “infractions” were they ???
most veteran sufferers of PTSD do not commit crimes ...
PTSD does not effect a person’s moral aptitude...
they may act strange but usually not criminally minded...
nice try...
As I remember it, getting a dishonorable discharge requires quite a bit more than an ‘infraction’. A bad conduct or general discharge would be more likely for more minor offenses. Dishonorable is the bottom of the barrel as far as discharges go.
