<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There are indeed those who blame the veteran for having PTSD. I have tried to explain to them (civ's) that it is in NO WAY the fault of the veteran. Do they think for one moment that we (vet) wanted to do or see the things we did? We went where and did what we were told. Those things acted different on everyone of us. Unfortunately, some ,people drive it into the vet that it is their fault, and consequently these are some of the reasons there is a greatly increased number of suicides / alcohol incidents among those vets.
