282RA says "10 years from now, Iraq war vets are going to be persona non grata. By then, they will have the reputation of being PTSD nutcases and ticking timebombs. No one will hire them because people are afraid they might walk in one day and shoot the place up."

Dianavan says "The Vietman Vets had a very difficult time finding their place amongst their peers at home and most of them were drafted. What kind of reception do you think the army of volunteers will receive?

Fact is, the people that will be hiring and supervising the Iraq War II vets are and will be the successful Vietnam War and Iraq War I vets and their families who know that the story of the hair-trigger veteran is just so much bull shit.
