completely uncalled for!
you just here to cause fights? what do you hope to do by making comments like that? did it make you feel better? make you feel more powerful?
what happened to you when you were a kid to make you think it's OK to say things like that?
you are the definition of an internet troll. you injected yourself into this conversation just to be rude....do you feel better about yourself?

BTW there were some very brave Canadians in Vietnam....

I did not ask for help for years. I substituted being a workaholic for years. It worked ok but not perfect, but I did not want the stigma of a PTSD diagnosis to interfere with myself and my family. It has been extremely tough over the years. My children are now raised and on their own. Because of additional health issues along with PTSD, I can not longer work. Since I don't have anything to fill my time, PTSD has gotten alot worse quickly. I did finally seek help and treatment. It is beginning to help but going through the past is extremely difficult. I read something in this thread about firearms. I have always been a firearm fanatic and own several. My understanding is you do have the right to own firearms even with a PTSD diagnoses as long as you can handle finances and have not attempted to hurt yourself or others. They deem not being able to handle your finances a reason to disarm you as well. If your PTSD gets to the point that you can not handle it on your own....do not hesitate to ask for help. I am rated at 70% PTSD by the VA....Hope this helps.

60% VA, 50% DoD here.

I never spoke of Vietnam for 25 years.....too much social baggage, didn't want the stigma. By some of the comments here you can see why...

I have friends who struggle with mental disorders like borderline and major depression and it's no joke. I think some people will never understand until it effects them. surprisingly pot gives my friends more relief and a better more productive life than prescription drugs

I don't see baggage I see a hero that made it outta hell.... like alot people they either took it home or left some part of yourself there..... nothing to be shamed of or to look down upon
Ubique you cool son of a bitch

Not even born then.

Me either, 74 here. My pop served during WWII and in Korea, though, and my eldest sister was a Captain in the Air Force when she was around 20.
A bunch of my uncles and family friends served in Saigon, and some didn't make it back.
My cousin Johnny did, though, and he was a fucking m-a-d-m-a-n when I was a kid, heh....getting my brothers and sisters into all kinds of bullshit, trying to grow herb in my grandfather's barn, in and out of jail, etc.

Pictorial ode to Cousin Johnny:

My father was a Korean and Vietnam vet.
He never spoke about it, not even in general terms.
