The oft used media and public meme in this economy and especially these two wars, but used or felt by many before, as to hiring veterans is the fear of PTS and the veteran exploding into violence! Those that served in WWII, called greatest generation many suffering from 'shell shock', 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 and used 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. The country was envied by others for our innovative labor force and the growing economy from, the rise of a strong middle class, some continued to serve the country in many ways. 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 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.
