Well, non military people want to try and show they care, and they, like others in similar situations, can make or say some inappropriate things. They are just trying to help, truly.

You know what I'd say? I'd say, Hey, even I can't stand to hear those stories, I lived it! Or maybe say, Hey, maybe later, ok? Of if push comes to shove tell them I've got PTSD Dude, and I ca't stand the stories!

however...with that said... I sat next to a guy at a dinner last night...and the conversation triggered something in him to share a line that he had been a cop in another city and had been badly injured and ...months of rehab etc. AND I DIDN"T HAVE A THING TO SAY! So, who knows? Here I sit, disabled from an industrial (work) injury... and I had nothing to say.

Guess we all just do our best.
