THAT staggers me!! Where had the group individuals been? STRESS is STRESS.
I tried the "group" business but quit due to two clowns in attendance, whose service was different from the rest - they annoyed everyone else too but were not isolated from the group.
Are you sure there is not more to the story? I'm NOT suggesting anything more than the simple question.

Hi Soth

sadly, nothing more. Words were straight from my fathers mouth. The group are all ptsd VVets and there wives. Each had a turn to talk about thier exp and when this guy told his two VV started into him about not understanding what they went through and he shouldnt be there.

Ended up in fisticuffs. Dad actually agreed that they shouldnt have been there and showed no compassion at all.

The point I was trying to make is being a D&ckHead is not restricted to any decade in history but is repeated sadly. Not having a go at any particular group, just human behaviour.

cheers
