“I’ve had thoughts of going back to the Army as a full time lifer and just retire that way, but that’s not what I really want. I wish they could understand my situation more, but it seems like they don’t really care. A part of me feels betrayed because I joined and fought with thoughts of defending my country. I may have been against the war, but I answered the call to duty. I worked so hard to serve and returned a decorated veteran, but it seems like they overlooked everything about me and saw only my grades.”

My Grandpa was a POW in WWII for six months. They didn’t even “have” PTSD then. He was NEVER given a chance to prove himself… He worked his whole life at GM.

I’m sorry that someone tricked you into believing that the world is fair.
