Stressor
Statement Proving PTSD
No Audie Murphy medals here, just a
scared skinny kid trying to get through
1968. Problem was, we needed
a lot of
antennas
to do our signal intelligence job,
and Charles zeroed in on them with
mortar and rocket attacks. We lost my
CO and my supervising sergeant.
I STILL have issues of impending
doom and trouble coping with loss.
It is probably fair that, with non-combat
guys, we have to offer proof
that the
incident(s)
causing the stress actually
happened.
Find the date of death of a buddy on
any one of several pages of web
sites on The Wall. The date of death is,
or is close to, the date of
the claimed
incident.
I hate to see true combat vets
(artillery, armor, MP's, riverine
patrol, combat engineers) put
through this. Your combat should
be a given. Sorry the VA puts
you through this.
