Forgive me for answering your post High Hopes I just felt impelled to. I have not yet had any formal involvement with these issues but I just wanted to let you know that PTSD is not something simple. I thought the military in every country who sent troops to fight would have learned their lessons from WW2, Korea and Vietnam.

With much respect for your sons service, his sacrifice of wellbeing and for you and your wife and families' sacrifice, and that goes for every Allied troop in the East right now and from the beginning.

I really hope that he is treated not punished, because punishment is only a kick in the backside from the officials who sent him there in the first place; I hope they see that his PTSD is real and very damaging and so treat him fairly

Loving thoughts,

Rhian
