I don't think anyone is going to argue that Nam vets were treated very badly by Americans when they were fighting the war.

To suggest that someone has watched too many war movies because they recognize a very real syndrome that afflicts these veterans not only shows YOUR ignorance but detracts from the brave combat duty these soldiers engaged in.

What about all the Agent Orange babies who were born as a result of their fathers' exposure while they were there?  Have you ever known or seen one?

My boyfriend was in the First Cav in the Army and was a paratrooper.  He gets 200 5-mg Valiums a month from the VA, PLUS 200 Serax to control his PTSD symptoms.  In addition to all this, he's an alcoholic.  His first marriage broke up because of it, and his first wife tried very hard.  She's a VA OR nurse, so she knows the ropes about all this.  His youngest son is severely mentally and physically handicapped because of Agent Orange.  Medical tests have proven it.

I've met many people, most of them conservatives, who "poo-poo" PTSD and think it's a fake illness.  I can tell you from firsthand knowledge that it ISN'T.  It is something that stays with them throughout their entire lives, and it not only affects the veteran, it also affects every member of the veteran's family.  I know several Nam vets who have committed suicide, with the help of the more than ample supply of drugs freely given to them by the VA Administration. This is a very serious problem, and to suggest that their only problem was protests of the American people does nothing but negate a very real problem that exists. 

Yes, they were treated very badly by Americans, but that's like swatting at gnats when a hungry lion is coming towards you.
