We [VN vets] are still dealing with those after effects today. We HAVE good therapies and treatments now..
I totally disagree with your claim that - "MH services at the VA... which btw the Vietnam Vets NEVER got!"
Maybe there wasn't a VA MH clinic in every little town in the country, but it was available.
BTW, how can 'Nam vets still have problems if the VA now has "good therapies and treatments?"

Because most VN vets never got treatment when they came back initially.

The addressing of the PTSD was Not the priority it is today back then.
