I know a few guys like this. My aunt made the mistake of touching my uncle one day has he was sleeping on the couch and found herself in a chokehold. She said it took him a second to realize where he was and what he was doing. He stopped just short of her blacking out.
A friend's father won't even talk about it. He'll talk about the military, but mention Vietnam and he tells you that he doesn't like to discuss it and starts to tear up.
Sad scary shit
I can't imagine the shit that's floating around in these guys' heads. Images and such that you can't turn off and ignore. I cannot possibly imagine.
