"I was there and experienced it, it left no permanent damage to me, or maybe it did, hahahahahahahahahah "
Well, you're a bad example, but really, it leaves no permanent damage on MOST people.
What really left serious damage was finding out how divided the nation was over the war and how politicians were using it as talking points, how the citizens of the country {around 50% or so} hated us for defending the country, how we were treated when we got home. I would have traded that for water boarding any day.
