not all of them are messed up in the head, but yea there are a lot that are.how about you go sit in a jungle in the dark, so dark you can barley see your hand in front of your face, with no sleep, or better yet go to sleep,and have some one come through there and try to kill you, then the next day go out and look for the ones that were shooting at you, and hope they don't have the area booby trapped some how, or have a sniper waiting for you to walk in to his sights. do this for 13 months strait then when you come out you get back here and tell us if your not messed up in the head to. not knowing if you were going to live through the night, or through the day for that matter

I don't feel we are any more messed up than any other group of people. Most Vietnam vets are well adjusted and productive citizens. The exception might be John(I want to be president ) Kerry and Al(I invented everything) Gore. We know they experienced more combat though, than anyone else. Right?

Bulls**it.
Oliver Stone, Hollywood bulls**it.
Sure there are some that suffer from the war, and many more that suffer because of the manner in which our government has neglected the care of these soldiers.
However, the majority of Vietnam Vets are healthy and productive members of society.
You would do well to learn from them

Shell shock is something that affects a large portion of veterans, whether or not they served in Vietnam, Iraq or any other place.
Of course, not everyone gets it, my grandfather fought 3 bloody wars, and he didn't seem to get shell shock, which is quite odd as he served in a duty that had a 90% mortality rate.

I suggest reading about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which was not identified during the Vietnam era. Also, treatment was not available like it is now.

Nice lumping and steretyping. If you researched before posting I would not be forced to respond to stupid questions. They are not, the news just liked to focus on the 1 or 2 % that were messed up. The vast majority of us came home and went to work etc.

Where are your facts and figures? How many people are you talking about? You make assertions that simply are not true.
