Coping with After-effects of Combat

Coping with After-effects of Combat

Everyone reacts to experiences, often for a lifetime. The scars of warfare are not all physical ones. The deepest scars are not seen; they are psychological and well

hidden. People who live and work with combat veterans often cope with those effects also, because they relate to those veterans who struggle with their memories and

harsh experiences. The Vietnam War differed from other wars, in that the experiences were highly individualized and personalized. Divisions and support units were

deployed to Vietnam for many years, and individuals would transfer in and out for tours of specified length, most commonly for 13 months. They would fly in for

transfer to replace somebody who had been there for 13 months, or who had been wounded or killed, and then fly out alone to other assignments at the end of their own

tour. This system was very destructive to both unit integrity and personal welfare. Perhaps you are, or know some combat veterans from Vietnam. With great care to not

violate the privacy of people or divulge their names, what can be understood and applied from the stories of those who served and left their commands and teams to

return home individually, as opposed to the experiences of other war veterans?
