Scenes From a Marriage

I read this eye-opening article about the family life of a veteran of war in USA. It's called "Scenes from a marriage" by Michael Jernigan.
He served in 2004 with Easy Company, Second Battalion, Second Marine Regiment in Mahmudiya, Zadon, and Falluja, where he was severely injured and blinded by a roadside bomb. He was medically retired from the Marine Corps in December 2005.

BTW do you know what PTSD means?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat.

This is very interesting

As the Spanish proverb says:
You won't go to bed without knowing another new thing.

Thanks
