Then you have no idea what is was like to come home to people that hated you on sight - once friends, relatives and just any one you met up with. Let alone what we had to endure during our service. We are vastly changed people, of which you cannot (by your statement below) comprehend its depth.

Its not something I'd wish on anyone and, certainly not your misguided thought quoted here :

This isolation is a chosen characteristic that they are trained to take on. This chosen characteristic makes healing from experience more difficult. Propping up this chosen characteristic only harms the vets.

There is no 'healing', only learning to live and deal with it.
