The only effect that I can recall after having served overseas and returning home was:

- driving in the wrong direction/lane
LEO looked at my hair and asked if I had just come from overseas. I said yes and he said 'be careful'.
- diving under my office desk when I heard a loud boom
Construction going on at work, sounded like an impact to me. Fortunately I was in my office and no one noticed.

I figure that if that is all that got to me compared to many of these kids that have done 2 or 3 tours (2 of my sons are in that category), then I had it easy.

Sorry for the hijack.

I'm sure there will be some who will get all technical on me and show just why he's a veteran by some letter of the laws...but as far as I am concerned, he's a dirtbag and a failure.

The implication resulting from when the casual reader fails to read on...is that he is one of the traumatized returning veterans from the Middle East who represent a potential threat to society.

I was Civil Affairs, which is closely related to PsyOps. That just means propaganda guys. Nothing nefarious or spy-like in the job.

The first responding police officer was shot 9 times. He was wearing a vest.

Girlfriend? Does the news consider that something notable?
