“Living With The Past” by Art Vandalay June 15‚ 2013 In all honesty I did not hear the term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) until some time after I re-deployed from Iraq in mid August 2003. Surely the term had been around long before them‚ but it wasn’t commonly used acronym in the military. I didn’t have nearly the frequent use that is has in today’s Army.
