To be fair, maybe your grandpas/uncles simply did better at dealing with it than others did.

Idk if you want to call it PTSD or something else - and admittedly I’ve never served so I have no way of knowing personally…it just doesn’t seem possible to fight in a war, see friends of yours die next to you, and NOT have it affect you somehow. Whether that always rises to the level of what we call PTSD I don’t know; and like I said, some people are simply able to handle those issues better than others.

Exactly my point. They dealt with it and didn't have any issues. I didn't say some people don't have PTSD, but some do not. So to say everyone that goes to war has it is just wrong.

You would have to kill me for them to draft my kids for any modern day war...especially under this administration.

Just tell the military you have bone spurs.

Hear that works.

My son would go Full Metal Jacket.

He would go all too beaucoup with his Alabama Black Snake on a hooker in Da Nang?

Oldest- no 51 yrs old
Youngest- Yes 46 yrs old
Current age has nothing to do with it.
It would be the same answer when they were 20-25 yrs younger.

Oh tots......this generation of ass kickers is absolutely ready to lay down their video games and come out of their safe spaces to take on career Chinese troops in whatever combat endeavor they're face with....as long as it isn't too loud, noisy, bright or dirty > https://www.startribune.com/quiet-z...estivals-add-sensory-accommodations/600375515
