Well, it is true it does that. I disagree. I think it can heal some wounds. And I say that from personal experience.

I don’t think that is a bad thing. Sometimes I wish it were less time.

We send young men, and not so young men, off to ugly places and order them to do ugly things on our behalf.

They don’t come back unchanged.

It’s only right that we give them the best support possible upon their return.

Time may heal wounds, but the scars remain.

You learn to live with it.

Or not.

Sometimes you need help learning to live with it. Sometimes a lot of help.

Don’t be afraid to ask. Don’t be slow to give.

Maybe you should take the time to do a google search... I reported what I found when I searched.

Maybe you should have taken the time to post your citation link.

And by the way, there are other search engines that don't share everything with China, so why give google an advertisement?

But the first thing we need to know aboutNavy Seal Douglas Day is not how he died!…but how he lived!

Your upthread apology to nuconvert was classy. I took exception, however, to his tone in lecturing you to search for his cause of death online. But I, too, am sorry for the distress nuconvert says was feeling. This is making many of us weep.

I think the picture is being painted all over the internet. It is what it is.

What’s always lost in sad stories such as this is the incredible level of support and skill of the members of the medivac community which were able to keep this man alive and get him out of country and safely to Germany for treatment.
