    • Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      My trauma is centered around seeing the worst in man where women and children were more than neglected. I had to do body exchages, clear mass graves were murder was evident. Visit orphanages that were way over crowded and children malnutrished. I actually got use to being shot at, seen a man blown in half. Lost to many friends.
