After WWII, our servicemen had to go thru a lot of BS before they were able to come home. From overseas by troopship, then a train ride to somewhere, etc. it took awhile from hostilities to home.My dad , 6 months.
I hav a friend who was in "Nam. He was on patrol Tues, left for home, Wed. Was home Friday. He said he was walking down the street, heard a truck backfire, and hit the deck,
I have no idea what Korea was like.
My question,do you think this is too soon, perhaps a week or two to "unwind" before you get home.
How do you feel??Would it help?

my husband is serving his second tour in iraq, i agree that they need transition but i think 6 months is far to much. all i know from my point of view is that he wants to come home right now and deal with PTSD later. the military offers help but i dont think its enough. my husband had a friend that died in his arms and still dreams about it, there needs to be something more.

distinction of seven, this is plenty. Afghanistan is a conflict this is purely no longer won. you spot many people do no longer see that a huge style of the Taliban are purely offended civillians wanting the people out of their usa. extra people are killed because of the fact extra people are angrier. Afghanistan has had sufficient with one and all of those wars and prefer peace of their usa. The conflict in Afghanistan isn't conflict on terrorism, that is purely purely a diversion. The conflict is targetted have become the Turmenistan oil pipelines, Afghanistan ought to be used to attack Iran from there, Afghanistan borders China aswell because it being on the brink of Russia and India. Afghanistan is likewise created from very wealthy minerals that the U. S. purely can't get their hands off. you spot what I advise, that is not any longer assisting. i don't recognize how one in each of those great style of international locations like Nato, Australia, New Zealand and so on can't beat purely a terrorist group that has extremely any paying for and merchandising platforms or economic device. the place do they get all their funds? Many are provided via the U. S..

My husband will be going for his third tour in Iraq, and from my experience the sooner home the better, as long as they have family support. It took my support of my husband to "bring him back" to the "real world". It just really depends on the case, but I know that six months would be far to long. I know if you were to ask my husband he would say being away for a year was long enough and he would just want to come home.

I was not the nicest person in the world for a few months after Nam (hell, maybe I'm still not). I needed a bit of time to get my head readjusted to being in "civilized society" again. Easier said than done.

No you need time to transition. Should be a base in the U.S. but you need some time to decompress and a regular military base with some structured activities is needed. Not just sitting around-that is the worst.

I'm far too lost in my head to ever "go home"
