According to a Veteran's Administration study |
|
Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered from what Psychiatrists call |
|
Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder |
|
Many vets complain of alienation, rage, or guilt |
|
Some succumb to suicidal thoughts |
|
Eight to Ten years after coming home almost eight hundred thousand men |
|
Are still fighting the Vietnam War |
|
None of them received a heroes welcome |
