Men and Women. Something is just starting to rear it's ugly head and I'm asking all of us to keep an eye on it. I'm starting to see, here and there on Vet internet sites, the VA saying that PTSD is curable, or it's the result of our upbringing. I wondered what the end result of 30% of OIF/OEF Vets coming back with PTSD would be, well, it looks like it's starting.
A vet on here, labonte, I believe, had a C&P and the Dr. said their problem was their upbringing. I recently had a Vet center guy try to pull it on me. On another Vet site, a teleconference shrink told a group of Viet Vets that PTSD was curable and that would embark on the "cure" soon.
We need to keep an eye on it and if it is a big push by the VA make danged sure the new vets and us old ones as well, know what it is and prepare for it. We need to formulate ways to combat it and make sure the news media knows about it.
I'm NOT trying to be an alarmist here but rather as with anything concerning the VA, "forewarned is forarmed". They want war on the cheap. They like to mess us up but don't want to pay to fix us.
