I thought it was a great article also Jan.To me the only experts on wartime PTSD are the Veterans themselves.They know it,they feel it everyday.If you go to the VA for help,what you get is some brain alteration chemical pill that will(like my best friend fuck you up even worse).I always refuse any PTSD treatment.Reefer seems to work just fine with me.:bandit:
Now,everytime you call a VA hospital or clinic,You first have to listen to an automated voice(If you are in an emotional crisis call#,if you are suicidal call hot-line# blah blah).I'm so sick of hearing this message(had to call four times Thursday because nobody picks up phone),that I came close to throwing the phone into the wall.The VA doesn't "get it",their own message is pissing Vets off.It's like a collective punishment that ALL Veterans have to listen to this.We don't need this constant reminder that Veterans are all messed up,because the great vast majority ARE NOT.Well,rant off!!! :banghead:
