Anthony gave you an excellent response, Dan. I haven't much to add, except to say that I agree wholeheartedly. I am part of a strong military family, my husband, 2 brothers-in-law, and 3 sons have all served. My one brother-in-law Eric and son Brian both developed PTSD. The striking correlation between Eric and Brian was that they were both unemotional, closed, and refused to talk about their feelings about what happened whilst they were on operations. Whereas, my husband Jim has always been open with me about his feelings, he is not ashamed to cry or show other emotions, or to admit to something upsetting him. As a result he is very healthy in spite of having been in the military 40 years. My other 2 sons, Travis and Rick, take after their father in personality and openness, and they are also still healthy. I do truly believe, having the ability to talk about matters helps tremendously. Unfortunately, as Anthony mentions, the military does not support this line of thinking.
