Back Quiver
How come the Marines didn't cry their eyes out in my day?
Back in 1969 the Marines lips would quiver but no real tears. Why the water shed now?
I got out in 2000, and I see a difference in the Corps in just the 7 short years since I left for college. My little brother is a Machine-Gunner in Iraq with the Corps and he seems nothing like the men I served with...He's a Marine, don't get me wrong, but there is something different.
The emotion aspect is something we need to discuss and discover further. Following Viet Nam, the VA largely had not services prior to deal with the mental problems associated with PTSD. In fact, this wasn't really appropriated until the 80s, largely because no self-respecting Marine would cry or ask for help (something I refuse to do to this day, even if it means torture!). Just because the problems are buried, doesn't mean they are gone. The USMC had the highest alcoholism rate in the Military, and when I was finishing up my contract there was a MASSIVE push to remedy this. It was discovered that these high rates led to obvious problems with family and work, but also led to an increase rate of suicides.
So now, the Corps is changing their approach on PTSD and the Corps philosophy, in order to make sure the Combat Vets of today are not left to the way-side to degenerate into mental illness and death. Leading the charge on this front at home is the VFW and the VA, as they are working with the newer Combat Vets to insure they do not have to go through what these Senior Leaders did when they came home a generation ago....and to let these New Vets know they are not alone.
It takes a Vet to speak to a Vet. No one else can communicate to the soul of a vet than his fellow brother-in-arms.
Semper Fi!
