What do us children know of war @Owlunar ?<br>You remember the shortages.<br>I remember my father screaming during his nightmare flashbacks of Vietnam. I remember a very angey and violent man. I remember how we went with mum to get hekp from the Department if Veteran Affairs and how they turned her away. I remember the psychiatrist telling her that if she leaves dad - he will suicide and it would be ger fault (late 70's - early 80's).<br>I remember taking him to the Heidelberg Hospital. I remember him walking home again. And ys taking him right back. I remember the stench if beer on his breath. I remember how it took over 20 years fir him to be diagnosed with PTSD. I remember him on such strong psych meds that he was like a zombie. I remember him dying at age 53. I remember how tormented he was - my whole life. <br>So yes. We remember. And there is nothing good to remember about war. And yet our service men and women are still suffering fromffighting in wars. And the government keeos encouraging youth to sign up.<br>Rant over. <br>
