my uncle, however, was much like your BIL. He ended up living (and dying) under a bridge many years ago. Same thing - mental issues. It is easier I think with the physical impairments to put together a case and present it.

I have one other uncle as well who was a MP and will not speak of his duties in service. He was very sick for awhile when I was in high school but they got him through it (malaria or something that they figured he picked up over there).

I can't imagine what it is like to serve during wartime. It's absolutely despicable that politicians get us into these wars to start with, and then make veterans jump through hoops when they get home.
