They didn't have "PTSD" when I returned from Nam, & Vietnam vets were spit on. After I crawled down from those mountains I never spoke of Vietnam again, nobody wanted to hear it. I bottled it up for 40+ years.......
That's super fucked up you guys got treated like that jj!
My late grandfather(god I loved that man)was Bataan death marched, only to escape, and then to be captured again. POW for a total of almost 3 yrs. He came
home half-dead, only to have to spend many many months in a VA hospital from TB.
I can't even begin to imagine what that must have been like, but one thing always pissed me off about him and the American Legion he was a big part of: He treated my father like shit! My dad did two tours in Vietnam. It's hard for him to tell us what all he experienced, but what he has shared, was absolutely unimaginable! Like Vietnam wasn't a real war or something? Jesus fucking christ
Anyways, thanks for your service guys! Really
