Today’s vets are getting better prosthetics, and quicker care for PTSD and psych problems, but once that initial care is gone, things go downhill. We “older” vets are increasing in numbers, and many are finding their service “incidents” are catching up with them, physically and psychologically- it increases the load more than the $$ have kept up with.

When people see a veteran with both legs cut, they say “You’re a hero”. When they see a veteran sleeping on a park bench, they think “get a backbone”.

It really depends on how close you are to the people you kill. Firing blindly into the night is different from smelling your assailant’s last breath.
