While doing so the VVA service officer said I should also apply for PTSD as I'd been married several times and moved around quite a bit - so I did. 16 months later I get a rating of 80%,70% PTSD and the rest diabetes and neurapathy. So I go to North Chicago to learn about PTSD in a 5 week program and then 10 months later get re-evaluated with 100% PTSD. So my wife, two daugthers ages 11 & 13 move to the country to the country, buy a small farm. In May our house got broken into, I slugged the 1st intruder, the 2nd ntruder choked me, my wife got him off I raced to the bedroom got a gun chased them off. I am now facing a felony assualt charge. BEWARE - civillian life is dangerous. Macomb, IL, McDonough County, IL is especially danger - their marching orders are "your best bet "sh-t on the vet." So any of yu guys coming back beware of you local law enforcement, especially if you have PTSD - they don't understand it and they don't care.
