This makes me so mad and sad. He got PTSD and it wasn't even for a just war.

I've known several people with PTSD and it exacts a huge toll. Only a just war could possibly excuse people being forced to lose so much of their peace of mind and their family's peaceful lives for years and years.

Wow, that is potent stuff.

I'd certainly like to be able to get Blake's email address and send something to cheer him up.
