He was in port during a large battle.
Well, at least he saw/heard something.
I met a high school friend recently who was in the AF and stationed at Bien Hoa air base. He told me he had recently applied to the VA for PTSD disability.

He never did, but over the years, just the thought that he might have to "really got to him."

I’m a non-combat vet of Vietnam and I knew the difference then and now..Your high school classmate is a disgrace. I had a career that came with health benefits and now with combined with Medicare. I didn’t want to take VA benefits away from vets that needed it more. However,now I want nothing to due with the VA.
