[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 696433, member: 1963"] It was the .50 cal. and how and what it was used on that set him up for a lot of the PTSD and guilt that he dealt with. The term used by the shrink husband saw at the VA for the people he'd killed was "sand n-words", which gives you an idea of how much therapy husband got. They just couldn't get their heads around a soldier feeling guilty about killing the enemy, even though husband, according to his journals, shot where he was ordered to shoot, and half the time didn't know for certain he was firing at the enemy. War is effing sick, and some people, like my husband, were too gentle to go to war. [/QUOTE]
