[QUOTE="xnavychief, post: 1785938, member: 24455"] I think using the term "veteran" universally is also a mistake when talking about returning to civilian life. Doing one or two hitches will definitely have an impact on an individual, no doubt, and I'm not discounting that fact. having said that, I've seen just as many looser one term vets get out(or get tossed out) as I have extremely outstanding one term vets that I hated to lose. You either love it or hate it, but should you decide to stay, you support it regardless. When someone does 20 or 30 years and tries to rejoin civilian life, it is a very hard challenge that can't be compared to starting over in your 20's after 2,4 or 6 years. If you've been type "A", eat, sleep, breathe it for over 1/2 of your life, you may never adjust. [/QUOTE]
