Damned straight. PTSD is as much of a war wound as getting shot or getting hit by shrapnel or an IED. Despite that macho crap they try to pull on you, you're entitled to treatment. Once you're though it you'll be a better soldier and a better person. Anything we can do to help, let us know - we'll be glad to help in any way we can. larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
