Something that helped VN vets was mentor programs/networks for vets.

It was mostly Christian vets who could help them understand and manage the readjustments to civilian life, navigate through family problems, etc. and help them find a place to live (if they needed that) and a job.

The divorce thing is almost a given in today’s self centered culture. A woman has to be willing to hold her own and be considerate, true and patient while the soldier gets re-established in civilian life. In today’s crazy society, divorce is high. Which makes mentoring buddy systems even more important.

you are absolutely right about mentors,and take the fact that techno kids are having social problems then give them real life issues and no support— they need their brothers.

I think they should have to do a year of reserves after they get out. Maybe 2 to ease the transition?
