The Gay thing , Just depends on the individuals. I was drafted in 1970 and the rules of training were still of toughness. They started to change shortly after that. You are right about Men and Women taking PTSD as an excuse for a benefit. Years ago they called it Shell Shocked. I could go on and on about this subject but instead I just want to share one thought. Vietnam 1971 , there were many Nurses and Donut Dollies (Red Cross) , Women that sacrificed for their Country. Their lives were in as much danger as mine yet they still treated and comforted the GI's so they could continue their jobs. These women as far as I am concerned never get their recognition. I also would like to say that I have never seen or heard of any of these women take the PTSD Road. 11th CJ , I agree with you once again on the training of our soldiers.
