As a vet from earlier service, I am thankful that there is more awarness and acceptance in the service of the condition called PTSD. I know there is difficulty getting treatment through the VA but once in, I'm happy to say the treatment is validating, compassionate and sincere. It helps to have counselors and doctors who work with those of us who lived the military mindset and are struggling with the stigma of being "weak". BTW, some PTSD is now about military sexual trauma for women AND men that leave veterens with a double whammy of shame.
