  • Friend of mine had to divorce her husband when he came home from Iraq. Violent as hell in his sleep, doesn’t remember a thing. And then there were all the other PTSD things.

    Seems a jihadi ambushed him with a machete. Next thing he remembered was his superior officer, and a few other dudes, pulling him off the mutilated corpse. Took some doing to identify the remains, as in, not sure of the nationality, or gender.

    I’ve had “PTSD light”, no use telling the stories involving robbers and bears, but I shudder to think what the real thing is like.

    What do you do? Fuck I know. It does fade over the years. Many, many years.
