Knowing what you just learnt about prisoners of war statistics with obtaining PTSD, do you think he was still weak, or he was more consumed with trauma from what he had suffered, and if he was a POW, we both know he suffered. Why weak?

Most of that is male tendency though Jim, as its a genetic trait of ours. Females want to be heard, not solved; males want to fix, and resolve. Don't beat yourself up too much there mate, its a learning curve for us males, one that I still struggle with at times, no doubts at all.

Who takes care of you though Jim? Obviously not yourself, being the most important of all to care for oneself.

Totally agree... to take one's own life is one's own decision, but to take other lives is stepping beyond self boundaries. Your certainly not confused in this area, though still hurting about what he has done. If we could change the past, no doubt you would, as would we all, but we cannot change what has happened, only understand why it happened and learn from those mistakes and misfortunes that have been dealt upon us.
