3. PTSD, drugs, alcohol, risky behavior, and homelessness are just some of the things
our veterans must face.

I met this lovely young lady at our last VFP meeting - she worked in the morgue in Kuwait for all of 2005. I asked her if she was experiencing PTSD and she said 'yes'. She has her good days and her bad days.

Most of the (caring) veterans I know have experienced PTSD to one degree or another. Dead bodies, pieces of bodies, and fucked up people are just some of the 'benefits' of 'defending our freedoms'.
