My Dad talked when he was drunk. I remember sitting on the living room floor and hearing what sounded like gunfire either from the movie or from a car backfiring and watching him jump up and panic because he didn't have his gun. He still has PTSD. He fights in his sleep. He was affected by Agent Orange and has been showing signs of dementia--which doesn't run in my family.
I vaguely remember a period of time where WW2 Vets talked down to Vietnam Vets because it wasn't a real war and they didn't have all of these problems when they came back. I was so young that I don't know if that was real sentiment being expressed by a few WW2 Vets, a lot of WW2 Vets, some type of media propaganda or something else. In fact, that could have been around the time they actually came up with the term PTSD and it could have been a backlash against that.
