I can only hope that this guy doesn’t feel like he had had it any worse than us Viet Nam vets had it. Don’t remember anyone at the airports welcoming us home.
I thought of that also and considering the fact that Nam vets do have the highest rate of suicide I was hoping that with the younger survivors speaking out, they could help all vets.
2014 article quote:
“But while older veterans saw a slight decrease in suicides, male veterans under 30 saw a 44 percent increase in the rate of suicides. That’s roughly two young veterans a day who take their own life, most just a few years after leaving the service.
“Their rates are astronomically high and climbing,” said Jan Kemp, VA’s National Mental Health Director for Suicide Prevention. “That’s concerning to us.”

Welcome home
The Jihadis are generally a pathetic incompetent bunch compared to the NVA or VC. They rely on Allah to guide their bullets. I wish we’d had that.
