Question
Joel4th
While my Father was on Active Duty in Germany, I was 8 years old, and was physically abused, and now am having PTSD symptoms. My father was a Green Beret, with 2 tours in Vietnam and 1 Tour in Korea. He also was involved in espionage in East Berlin, and was awarded a Bronse Star. Due to his high security position he was highly protected from prosecution until he was a civilian. I myself was a Reserve Component member for 8 years with only about one year of Active Duty, all Training Time.
He, my Father, was later Convicted of the Abuse while a civilian, but the abuse occurreed while he was active duty. Also, the Military at that time (1972) clearly threatened my mother regarding her intention to press charges while in Germany, threatening to strand us in Germany if she went forward with charges. Now my Father is 100% disabled due to mental and cardiac issues, and I am unable to function due to panic disorder.
Does any such claim have any merit?
Thanks! in advance, Sincerely, Joel
