I would imagine it's very common. I had a good friend who was a vet from the Vietnamese war. He lived in California, but he moved to Canada because of the way he was treated at home, just for having served his country in Vietnam. He, too, had PTSD.<BR/><BR/>And now you guys will have another round of young men (and women) coming back from that horrible, ghastly war in Iraq. When will it stop?Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979114933441527890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563921876019154209.post-12190414883263273602007-11-29T00:33:00.000-05:002007-11-29T00:33:00.000-05:00What a wonderful post, Ruth.

I understand how hard it must be for Bruce. In boot camp you are taught to be tough. It become such an innate thing that after war it becomes difficult to know you need help and even more difficult to ask for it. It also is difficult for the spouse standing by unable to help, unable to reach the man she once knew. War is such a tragedy in so many ways. You are in my thoughts always Ruth.Janice Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506920585319893814noreply@blogger.com
