Yep, you get taken advantage of when you're young and stupid...I thought this was going to be a story about how the machine guns and the helicopters gave you tinnitus... I've certainly got it from being around loud things in my youth ... I never felt that my ears were being damaged at the time....

...NO, the Therapy I was in, was not for My Sever Tennitis, there is NO Cure; it was for 'Sever and Chronic' PTSD. 4 Different Psychiatrists and Dozens of Vietnam Veteran Group Sessions, over many Years.

It didn't help me, much.

"You Know there 'Aint-No' Forgettin'!"

..."Stupid" Huh!? No matter, My Entire Family was split over me serving in Nam, Most Thought the same thing, 'Stupid for Volunteering'!! I and Others, would do it again...We were 'Needed' over There. For a Short Moment our Lives were 'Worth' Something.

"It Don't Mean Nothin'...It Don't Mean a Thing!"

"What doesn't Kill us, Only Makes Us Stronger!"

...Not Everyone who Died in Nam, Died There.
