Combat Corpsmen, and PTSD.
:flag:
WELL....I was asked in a PM, if I thought that there were varying degrees of PTSD. Truthfully, I don't give a dam.....BUT...everybody's history is different. Depending on your level of innocence, entering combat, your symptoms MUST vary. YES....Corpsmen can, and do have a different view of thier circumstances. FMF Marines, and Corpsmen are volunteers, willing to DO whatever is possible, to take the fight to the enemy, and defeat them. Personally, I took The Corpsman's Oath in Hospital Corps School, back in 1966. I swore to care for, and save the lives of the men in my unit...no matter what. No other part of the Naval Service has received more medals for bravery, and M.O.H.'s...than The Naval Hospital Corps. We don't die fighting....we die saving the lives of our Brother Marines....PERIOD. I will ALWAYS STAND by my Oath.....SEMPER FIDELIS....Doc Greek
