[QUOTE="truefiveo, post: 10027674, member: 105180"] There is no normal! Me personally I still have issues from the horrible stuff I've seen in the streets of DC in the late 80s early 90s as a young man. So to go over to the desert and see the same evil stuff us humans can do to each other wasn't anything new. You have Vets like Dale who are in high leadership positions who always have to portray a positive strong willing demeanor. If all of his subordinates see and feel he is mentally and emotionally unstable then who will reassure them in tight and critical situations? The big dog loses it and so will guys under him. So you have guys like this who have to stay strong for our troops no matter what their personal problems they have themselves. That's why these guys wear the most stripes.....emotional and mental endurance!! Some things have really changed my perception of life and Im sure many others can vouch for this.....the distinct sound of a C-RAM alarm will still make me do the same things I was trained to do back then, something that I will never forget or get used to for the rest of my life. We had a guy with the C-RAM alarm as his ringtone on his cell phone in my civilian department and he thought it was funny thing, after a good personal talk with him he no longer had it on his phone. Think of some of the young children of Iraq and Afghan they will never ever forget the stuff they have seen from our Allied Forces and the insurgents. That's where the damage is done and these young ages where you observe everything as a young child with a developing mind. I would never want my daughter to experience or see what some of the children in the desert had to, that's why we fight!!!! To keep the war off of our soil and away from our children to see! God Bless our Troops and please support our VA! [/QUOTE]
