Civilian psychologists know nothing about post-mission trauma. They don’t understand us at all.
There are so few military patients that there is no point in keeping so many military hospitals.
They promised that we would have priority in military hospitals.
And now what? I go there and there are hundreds of
civilians waiting..
I waited and waited and there were always some soldiers ahead of me. Are they better than us, civilians?
