I'm more concerned about their mental health and disposition when they return.

I dont know about them, but my mental state is fine after about a year of getting use to civilian life. Did 3 combat tours as an infantryman....to many people who probably never left the wire (Fobits) are alot of the people claiming PTSD.

Good for you and continued success.

Everyone is not the same nor should the same results be expected for all.

Don't really understand your meaning of the statement referencing PTSD, but it sounds macho.

Lot of PTSD claims. Never did Nam vets any good till now. So hold on there vets you may get help later on in life after years of suffering.

They are running ads on the radio for vets to get treatment for ptsd.
Naturally many will claim they have it.

Neither did the ww1&2 vets who were 'shell shocked'. I don't think anyone can say it doesn't exist merely because they or their buddy didn't get it.
