And many of them were real, just like my fathers VA Claim. USAF retired, shot down in Vietnam and made it to safety with the help of Cambodian allies, but his story is not complete as he then assisted the Vets needing help by driving the guys to their appointments in San Francisco and Sacramento by VA van. He had permanent injuries and not just PTSD. I suffered PTSD for years but with the help of a great counselor learned to compartmentalize issues, still have nightmares from tge I cidents, but they are few and far between, it is also why I became a Mental Health Mental Illness instructor and Trainer. Tough guys never ask for help until it is too late and it has taken its toll on the body and the mind. Mental illness is not a joke.
