Military Vets Trained and Ready for Business

The oft used media and public meme's in this economy and especially these two wars, but used before, as to hiring veterans is the fear of PTS and the veteran exploding into violence as well as not trained for the public sector jobs and those used for civilians like being unskilled or low skilled! Those that served in WWII, so called greatest generation, weren't only called that because of that war. They came back with what they learned in the military, everything but actual fighting, to join the labor force, quickly learning the jobs and needs of those who employed them, and used the now ingrained and much will stay of the military structure to enhance their skills they learned as they went forward. Some came back to start businesses that became successful, some industries, and the most that worked for others became great innovators along with the engineers etc. as they grew in their trades or also were schooled in the advances in. Korean war vets the same and yet not known PTS, us Vietnam vets same and we along with others finally got the medical establishment to recognize and gave it a name yet it was still ignored by the greater majority served.

That ended when, mostly non veterans, the greed took over and the idea's of capitalism, where everyone shared in the fruits of the labor, were shifted up to the top, with promises of 'trickle down' to the rest, we already had that in sharing and building strong industries and quickly innovating them. Many had PTS, shell shock, but suffered in silence their whole lives while functioning normally, many civilians did also and still do as the focus stays mostly on military, wars, and combat PTS, but that's changing, Finally.

The story that remains largely untold is neither one of war nor tragedy. Rather, it is the everyday story of 22.5 million veterans – some 80 percent of whom are as successful, employed, and adjusted (if not more so) as any other American.

Today, public awareness rightfully focuses on those in crisis: The wounded, the ill, the unemployed, and the homeless. This focus must remain our highest priority, as it is our honor to help those who are suffering after sacrificing greatly to defend our nation.

One can suffer from bouts of depression, while a part of PTS one doesn't have to be suffering from PTS. One can get angry or in a rage and not be suffering from PTS. One can have a trigger, PTS or no, that causes one to quickly grab a gun they have and use, without thought of doing, and that also goes for those packing and grab to stop a shooter.
