I truly hope your brother is safe and well throughout his tour(s) and after - I suspect you have a lot of learning if he is not.
Yep, my grandfather committed suicide in the 60s because of all he had seen during the wars he went to. He was career army. My uncle was an army radioman. He fights the VietCong in his back yard weekly. PTSD sucks and the care we give soldiers sucks.
