Part two of PTSD observations in the past day -
On the national news an American Vietnam War veteran was being interviewed in Hanoi and he expressed how at the end of his tour of duty he hoped never to see the country again. But now, all these decades later, he has been back many times engaged in charitable works of different sorts. When asked about his PTSD he said that he suffers all the time, but far less when he is in Vietnam because here he feels like in a small way he is giving back to a country we wronged in so many ways.
Ah, yes. And the unholy beat of war goes on and on. And the carnage on the field is just the beginning.
