I knew I was not the same soldier but then I had
to come back and say, "Well what was it
that would make me feel that way?"
It was a self-confidence issue.
The image that was going
on through soldiers' heads were: You're broken.
You're broken mentally.
You're never going to be the same.
We got to take you off the front line.
You're no good no more.
Or the glimpses
of the Vietnam-era Vets or the Gulf War Vets.
You're going to be unemployed and homeless
because you have this disease that's
out there and that's not true.
Every person who, not only is said to have PTSD,
but if they can define it with them self as,
"This is what I have," and they can find the treatment
that works for them to help them get
over that hump, they'll go back.
They'll find out who they once were
and they'll become that soldier again.
