to all the vets, those who have posted and those who may be lurking....thank you for your service. i am NOT trying to start a political discussion, so please don't read that into this. but i just wanted to say i feel very strongly that our (US) government has seriously failed you, esp from about desert storm onwards with it seemingly getting worse and worse, on everything from acknowledging PTSD, much less treating it, to the clowntastic way the VA is managed, and seemingly no plan for reintegration/post-service job training and assistance. it's just *shameful*.
so i just wanted you, whoever you are, to know that for whatever it may be worth to you....
