And again how is it that people like John Kerry or Bob Kerry or even Al Gore can serve in the military during the war but for Dean it would have lessened his chances any more? Is he a disadvantaged man and cannot go through similair experiences?
Thankfully many Vietnam vets have managed to make wonderful contributions to our society. Some, I believe, have been able to overcome the challenges they faced in the military and serve society better because of it. But sadly, the chances of Vietnam vets succumbing to debilitating illness and social problems are much greater, espeically if they served in a combat role. On the whole, any sort of trauma rarely makes one a better person. I'd encourage you to read the following: http://www.prisonsociety.org/cf_2001_fall/12.html
