You know what you do have? Experience and understanding! I suggest you use it to help fellow Vets. There are a bunch of young Vets and more mature Vets that want somebody to talk to, share stories with, share pain with. Who can they talk to? Once they get back home there is rarely anyone that share life experiences, sees life through the same lens, as they do... Except you do share a great deal in common with them. And differences too, M1 vs M4, 1911 vs 9mm, jungle vs desert, draft vs volunteer. Get to know them, and tell them about your experience. You can help them, and maybe they will help you. Take care of yourself, and know that there are many Vets that feel as you do. I suggest helping them to help yourself.

same, happens in familys,chruch, clubs, schools , teams, never had any luck ? with them !

well ! i guess i dont know how this works ? i tryed ? just trying to contact ! so god bless 🙏

my days of running and gunning are long past ( drafted in 72) but I can still sniff the air and I'm not ready to just lay in the sunshine and lick myself. Our church is starting a charter school this fall K-12 and i
was task with the security side of it and have been taping other senior citizens with the know how and will to still bring the fight. So there still a purpose for us old dogs. I pray that there will never be a need for the old skills that we still keep hone and the children in our care will see us as kindly old Grandpas and Grandmas who have time to listen there problems and cares and maybe read Pat McManus books to them
