#VeteransLikeUs: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder In The Combat Soldier

Ever wonder what you loved one really thinks and feels about his first-hand combat experiences? Especially those first hand events in a war zone that he will not open up and talk about ... to you or anybody else? From the Preface: "#VeteransLikeUs: Post Traumatic Stress Order In Combat Soldiers makes me smile, laugh, hurt and cry. You are painting a picture of war that few people have or will ever experience. It is important that you do this. I hope that these writings find their way to a larger audience than those of us privileged few who are experiencing them. War, to this generation, is a fictional activity, confined to movies and video games. Many of my students, when I was teaching high school, were intrigued by Vietnam and could only see what they thought was the glory and "coolness" of combat. The most asked question was "Did you ever kill anyone?" What bothered me was the way the question was asked, like wow, you were really cool if you had actually killed another human being. I thank God I was never put in the position where I had to. Their impressions were reinforced by the media coverage of Desert Storm, in which war was portrayed as a sterile video game like experience. I hope however, that you can find some way to publish Season of Sorrows in print also. This generation, and future generations need to hear not only your experiences but they need to hear your feelings and get even just a small glimpse of your hurt, fear and emotion. I know they will probably not be able to fully understand all they will read or hear, but even if they get just one small percentage point of understanding, they and society as a whole, will be the better for it." If your loved one's mental pain is more than you can stand or is now past your family's understanding and patience, #VeteransLikeUs: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder In ComBat Soldiers lets you in his/her world.
