Thanks for this: no one who hasn't been even in Southeast Asia, especially in the hot season, or the monsoon season, understands what it's like: the cultural and linguistic isolation, physical discomfort, frequent intestinal ailments, dysentery, malaria, etc., etc. Add those conditions of combat that existed in that war arena, and it is no surprise at all many had PTSD later, that tragically, was only understood more widely two decades later. And, as you correctly say, still is not really understood by many. If a person can manage the lifestyle change required, a Service Dog can be a big help in keeping one more centered and "in the moment". Also a hobby requiring intensive focus for a couple/ few hours a day can help. Gardening also is a great hobby for many with PTSD. (Don't get me started! smile
