3. I pulled 3 tours on a PBR(patrol boat,river) in Vietnam

Despite the same type of 'warnings', I went to see Apocalypse Now when it was first released.

The movie had no negative effect on me. And I was in some of the hottest action of the campaign.

A few weeks ago, I was going through the cable guide and saw the movie was underway. My girlfriend wanted to pick it up in progress (she had never seen it) so I turned it on.

I lasted about 5 minutes.

Couldn't take it. I was feeling nauseous, trembling.

Funny what time can do.

4. I think that would only be the case if the ALREADY have PTSD.

If actually being in combat and seeing buddys blown up by IEDs and RPG's or shot by snipers didn't give them PTSD, a TV program won't.


That is a bit messed up, claiming troops that have been in combat would get PTSD from a TV show. As a vet, that is somewhat insulting. The show is just bringing things to the surface that were already there.

5. It could cause PTSD.....But since everything is going so well over there.

There's nothing to worry about...Right?
