I agree...it happened to me in 1968-69 when I returned home from Vietnam. I did not want to associated with the "kids" I knew when I left. I just wanted to be around responsible citizens who had seen pain and had lived through it. I feel most of the soldiers we send off to war will find ways to live through it. (thank GOD)
