I'm a veteran and I saw combat ,not as much as some, but I've been shot at and almost blown up. So, with that being said, if anything irritates me, its everyone thinking that veterans are somehow victims. I joined in 2004, everything was already going on and I knew what I was getting into. And I was in for 9 years. If anything is detrimental to veteran mental health, it's these factors. 1: Multiple deployments 2: A high divorce rate 3: A severely toned down basic training program, or more "friendly" military. This means that people that aren't mentally able to cope with combat make it through and end up being put in situations that they can't handle. 4: Treating folks with PTSD as if it's something that can't be overcome. Thankfully, I came home fine. But I have buddies that were like Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan. By keeping in touch with fellow veterans and telling a lot bad jokes, they eventually returned to normal. None of this is to say that some people are hit harder than others. The saying at the local VFW is "Everyone is a hero until they aren't." Everyone has a snapping point and it is unique to the individual. But letting people know that it doesn't have to be permanent, situation, and normalcy is still possible, most people can get through it.

I'm sorry for all the typos....writing a long post when I can only see 3 lines is a sure recipe for poor grammar.
