[QUOTE="AVB 2, post: 76949027, member: 333978"] Several years ago I read an article that stated that the reason that the suicide rate among post World War Two veterans is this. When WW 2 was over, the veterans that were overseas were put on US Navy ships that took about 30 days to return to the US. During that 30 days all the men had to do was eat, sleep and stay out of the way of the sailors who were on duty, so they talked to one another about problems they had about war. They discovered that the their brothers-in-arms also had the exact same feelings they had and that was therapy for them. Just knowing they were not the only one's with these feelings was comforting. The soldiers of today could be in combat on Monday, put on a airplane on Tuesday and by Wednesday be home. All those anxious feelings are still inside eating at them. I am a disabled veteran and have trusted the VA for about 20 years with all my health care and they are doing an OUTSTANDING job at identifying PTSD in their patients and then doing something about it. If you are a vet and think you may have PTSD call 800-827-1000 and find who is your local Service Veteran Officer who will help you with signing up with the VA. [/QUOTE]
