"The men coming home went back to the job they left. No PTSD. Home on Sunday, business on Monday, back at their old job on Tuesday.
I had four uncles who were alcoholics. They were hard workers, drinking after work and on weekends. The grass was cut, car was maintained, rooms painted, etc and didn’t miss work.When I grew up I realized they were not lazy. They were self-medicating for depression, to ease the trauma of war. No one talked about the horrors they had seen, done."
