Hey why don’t you tell your oh so very brilliant theory of War Shock to the Korean and Vietnam vets that never got help and needed it ?
Many of our ancestors were “loonies” , only in the “bad old days” they were the uncle who never talked to anyone and isolated and “just wasn’t the same”; or the guy who lived isolated; or the many, many vets who ended up in “insane asylums” before the 1960’s when we closed the state hospitals and finally had medications.
Maybe, just maybe....SOME VETS ARE OK, AND SOME VETS ARE DAMAGED BY THEIR TRAUMA.
Tell the many vets who were and are being helped by the mental health profession that they should just ‘suck it up and be normal!”
Don’t forget the major drinking that many WWII, Korea, and Vietnam Veterans did for YEARS after returning. I truly believe many were self-medicating.
