And there were more than a few of us baby boomers who saw our brace WW-II combat veteran fathers fall apart as the years went by. Eleanor Roosevelt said that she felt our returning combat vets had been so traumatized by their war experiences they should be given up to a year of recovery in a peaceful restorative therapeutic environment if they needed it before being expected to fully assimilate back into civilized life. I think she was completely correct about this.

I meant to say brave not brace.

I was stationed with alot of vets returning from Vietnam. I was shocked how mentally messed up alot of them were.
