Reply #10: One of my friend's husband is the one I'm talking about

[pnutchuck]

and she has been miserable since he came back. He doesn't want to touch her and he becomes violent when he drinks. I witnessed him twisting her arm at a party one night when the conversation turned to Iraq and she tried to stop it by touching his hand and saying "shhh, it's ok, relax". I also saw him 3 days after he returned start crying after someone asked him about Iraq. He was a nurse in the triage unit. He started naming off all of the people he could't save. It's heart breaking. I told her he should seek help from a therapist, but other people in the military told me that it's a sure medical discharge if he does. He's career and in medicine, it would ruin him if that happened.
