Hi New Guy Here

Not open for further replies.
I am a Vietnam combat veteran who has suffered PTSD and Depression chronically since 1971. I stumbled across this board and after reading some info here I decided I should join, and in hopes of being helpful offer my advice. I served in Vietnam with a small outfit which operated inside Cambodia and along the border area from the Mekong to the Parrots Beak Triangle. My job was to destroy the Trail and kill anyone that was in front of me. I worked with the 7th ARVN Airborne Rangers and mainly performed small covert ops. I have suffered from PTSD, Guilt, and Depression since 1974. It hit me out of the blue. I do suffer some head trauma after being blown up from 122mm rockets. I am deaf and have 2 hearing aids. What caught my eye here is the advice and the way the advice was given by the administrator, Anthony. (NO OFFENSE) I just believe that you Anthony are giving out wrong advice or you are not informative. What you say is not clear and has a large gap from one sentence to another. I again say I am not trying to be attacking or offensive and I do appreciate your intention. I just think your statements must be defined and said differently. If this did not affect fellow vets I would say nothing and let it pass, but, what you say is important and must be said with the utmost thought beforehand.

Welcome Dennis, glad you found us. There are many other Nam vets here as well. Anthony created this site, is a vet, has a degree in these topics and has worked with vets for years. I can assure you he understands the topic very well, as an expert. He lets us run the site for each other and only pokes in to check on us when necessary, so his choppy replies are usually related to a question. I know seeing things on the net lead to issues with what was intended and what was comprehended. He's been posting for years so you may be picking up on the back ends of threads. You comment is very generic so what exactly is it that you are uncomfortable with, perhaps we can clarify.
