It had not occurred to me until I discussed this topic with Vietnam vets outside this forum that whether or not Jane Fonda is in need of forgiveness, there are veterans who are in need of the ability to forgive, themselves and others, to overcome the effects of the trauma they suffered. The attached article discusses this problem. www.ncptsd.va.gov/publica...alois.html
I know when my brother got off the plane returning from Vietnam, he was spat on. He will never forget it.

Marti,
After reading your post, I tried several times during the course of discussions with friends to tell them that they should tread lightly because I am old and fragile. They howled with laughter. Since it is indisputable that Im old as dirt, it must be the fragile part that they are having trouble getting around. I am working on my delivery. |

Yeah, I know what you mean, Tessa. You have to work on the pathetic part...it's hard to pull off. I don't think Tactitus bought it, either.
