My father actually did 3 tours in 'Nam as a Helicopter Pilot and he has yet to have a flashback. He has told me stories that would invoke nightmares in anyone human. Stories like his machine gunner getting his head blown completely off. Or how one of his co-pilots got shot through the throat and he had to listen to him die gurgling on his own blood for 20 minutes.
He's not addicted to Heroin and it kinda insults me that someone or anyone would make that assumption about a Vietnam vet. Apparently some men are just stronger than others.
