big surprise?

It is a big surprise actually. WWII vets did not come home as "ticking time bombs", they provided the world with the most advancement a single generation has ever created.
These are isolated incidents of people who may very well have done these things were they military or not.
You can't characterize people in the way this article does. It is unfair to the 100s of thousands of fine vets.

not characterizing anyone, reporting facts mixed with lots of personal one on one experience with dozens of friends who never got over it coming back from Vietnam

WWII was completely different than what soldiers are facing in Afghanistan, Iraq, Derkastan etc. Now any slapdick can go on the internet and learn how to made an IED.

If Americans truly cared about our troops then they would do what the troops want...elect Ron Paul. These wars are a farce and serve only the elite bankers and the benefactors of the massive military industrial complex.

But then again we're living in a society where the masses believe a man who promotes peace and individualism is a nut job and dangerous.

Sheep are not really known for the individualism. If they were they would likely have been called something else.
