[QUOTE="Kaon, post: 74467776, member: 407930"] PTSD, the realization that you may have killed people for nothing, that you may have killed innocent people for nothing, seeing your best friend/brother/sister ripped apart by artillery or explosives in front of you, coming back to your nation of origin to be greeted by people who give the same one-sentence platitudes and then go back to ignoring them. Or, even seeing evidence of something nefarious that can't b shared with anyone else (since no one would believe them anyway). The country leaves veterans on the street to succumb to their "ways of dealing" - literally. We telegraph the responsibility and blame on them, because they are easy (and on our peer level) instead of the people who deserve it. So, after they have seen or killed people for this nation, seen their closest die for this country, and gave themselves as GI, they come back to a nation that has the [B]luxury[/B] of forgetting they exist (except for those cliches). It is an unfortunate circumstance to be a soldier; laypersons will think you are crazy if you tell them things because a week of your life is beyond their belief, and your superiors wont care.
