I have known quite a few vietnam combat vets.

Most were okay.... SOBER! Add alcohol or pills and then it is another story.

One of them committed suicide, just couldn’t live with himself anymore, when he drank he had the urge to want and pull a knife, that’s why he didn’t carry one.

PTSD is real,coupled with depression or some other disorder as bi-polar and it can be a disaster waiting to happen.

I am not justifying what this guy did by no means but if you watch him in the video, you can tell his experienced combat training took over for a short while

He is entitled to a free grave at Veterans Cemetery. I think he deserves that honor.
