This is the problem with some Veterans. when in a emotional stress like this man was experiencing his reaction could have been either good or bad. They say that 75% of all the service men &amp; women are coming back with PTSD. Yes I thought of reaching out to this young man but he might just have told me I don't understand. when someone experiences a loss like this veteran you are not sure if he is a ticking time bomb so to say. Yes I also suffer greatly from PTSD. It took the government 6 years to finally diagnose me. Since my PTSD is because of an accident (not combat related) they have no treatment for me. I now live my life on a government pension. I can only descibe myself by the movie RAMBO. Many Veterans are diappointed with the Department of veterans affairs. Just last week at the VA hospital in Temple Texas it was in the newspaper that there was a VA employee who was quoted on the internet saying to deliberately misdiagnose people with PTSD to less expensive rating like personality disorder. This is the closest VA hospital to crawford Texas I believe its about 30 miles away. many people do not know the reality of what war brings out in people who engage in it. It is a nightmare so to say</p> Sat, 24 May 2008 23:37:58 -0400 loetoy comment 1644 at http://www.propeace.net http://www.propeace.net/node/2251 <em>I am grateful to Conal Elliott for the heart-open, heart-closed model of connecting with our universal human needs, to (I)An-ok Ta Chai for sharing her work and asking the question, and to Marshall Rosenberg for the gift of his work in Nonviolent Communication.</em> http://www.propeace.net/node/2251#comments peace &amp; nonviolence culture health and science Mon, 12 May 2008 17:44:08 -0400 Susan Livingston 2251 at http://www.propeace.net
