1. PTSD is awful
I had an Abnormal Psych class last semester and 3 Vietnam vets came into our class to talk about PTSD and how it is worse than the war that gave them the psychological difficulties. These men have a hard time keeping jobs, holding relationships, even taking a walk in their own neighborhood. People make fun of the Vietnam vets for this (you know, the infamous loud noise :flashback: jokes) but it is a serious issue that is definitly going to effect these young men coming home from Iraq. One cannot kill that many people and be psychologically OK with it. Thats why God gave us a conscience.
