Get some counseling. What you're going through is very common, and has happened to soldiers since the beginning of time. You are far better off than soldiers in the past though, since you have unlimited counseling resources at your disposal. Just don't use this as a crutch that causes you to be a jerk.

I have had the same problem...get some counseling or find someone with whom you can talk to. The dreams will eventually fade away with time. Have faith in God and yourself to get through this.

Soldier...You served your country and did what others were not willing or able to do. For that you have My thanks. Please seek help for the PTSD. This doesn't have to be a lifetime sentence. There are a lot of good people out there who know a lot more about treating stress disorders than we used to. Not sure if you are a Marine or a Dogface, but from one Marine to you, Semper Fi...HUA!!!

^1UP...It is because of soldiers like this young man that your freedom to spout pathethic garbage like this is intact....Freedom is no free, you piece of shit!!

I just don't get how some of you people can be so rude. He has earned respect. You on the other hand must be envious, because it takes a real man to stand up for others; and it takes a bigger man to admit he has a problem. Why don't you grow up and quit being a hater???

To the posters that ridiculed this man, if you disagree with America-move. To the other posters that support this man-thank you. I served in Nam and my son has done a tour in Iraq and is now in Afghanistan. There is help out there that was not available in the 60"s. Take advantage of it and God Bless You.

^2UP...You "Know this for a Fact"...How?? Did you do this and now feel like an asswipe because other young persons who were much better people than you will ever be, died?? As far as being unprepared for seeing combat, that has nothing to do with being sheltered...NO ONE is EVER prepared to see another human being killed or trying to kill them...You can train but until it really happens, you NEVER know how it's going to affect you...

FUCK ALL YOU HATERS You Talk A lot about what The Military Does While You Live your Boring ass Lives. Get The FUCKL UP OFF THE COUCH SHITBAG and Let me see you do something About it...You don?t know what its like to see someone you have been best friends with for the past year get their brains scattered on the dash of a humvee....You don?t know what its like to have to tell someone they are missing a leg because they're in shock and cant feel it...You don?t know WTF its like to have to tell someone?s WIFE, Mother, or even father That you couldn't have saved their husband/ son's life! It hurts and I?m sure He's not asking for you sympathy...NO ONE IS but if you have a negative opinion keep it to YOURSELF because WHAT YOU THINK ......IS NOT IMPORTANT....To the OP I have some telephone doc's that can help if you need the number it helps to talk to someone.. ANYONE! Trust me
