It's about coping. You know, that thing you're not doing. Often times the transition from battleground to suburbs can be harsh, jarring at best.

[Grumpiness? He shall have it. Lots of it.]

Maybe not in your time but my time some soldiers snap and gunning down neighbors or friends because their post traumatic stress is unbearable and they don't tell anyone how bad it really was. They put people like you into therapy so you won't turn on people who don't deserve it.

Don't flatter yourself that they want to know your entire history. Find a group with other veterans. Suck it up. You didn't lose a limb. You won the war and came back with your life. Are you living it like you'll fight to the death to have it again?

I'm going to guess no.
