I lost a coworker to suicide some years back. He was a door gunner in Nam and no doubt was part of a lot of bad stuff. His family said the fun loving, outgoing kid that left home came back as somebody they didn't know anymore. He sought help but the demons always found their way back to him.
The poster here that posted a few months ago that said ptsd isn't real, just weak minded people is so full of crap. The numbers don't lie.

My cousin was in Vietnam. Was a fun loving teenager when he left, and when he came back he was very quiet, and shy, and solemn. We found out over time that he and some other soldier had to shoot some kids who were coming toward them with explosives strapped to their bodies.
I can't imagine what that would do to a person. He's still alive, but doesn't speak about it much at all, and was never very outgoing when he came home from there.
