The armed forces are not real good at helping those who have suffered. My friend was a marine special forces sniper and is having a terrible time adjusting to civillian life. They trained him to kill other people at their command, now they don't want to give him anything other than a few bucks for schooling.

Poor guy, sure hope he doesn't snap.

A radio talk show host in the area once said he was trained to kill by the military (WW2) but he was never trained NOT to. In other words there was no help adjusting to civilian life.

Also, I knew a Nam vet who sometimes fell asleep in a chair. just don't tap him to wake him up as he'd try to kill you even before his eyes were open.
