My little brother was about as lucky as it gets. His PTSD from his Marine service in Iraq is so bad, he doesn't remember anything from his 6 months there or how he got his scars. His Marine buddies won't tell him what happened either. They just tell him they can't believe he survived
As I said, he's lucky. He was diagnosed with severe PTSD. He lost 6 months of memory. His Marine buddies were advised to not say a word about what happened because he might start to remember. He has scars all over his body, has to have tumors removed every 6 months or so (they're from shrapnel), had a detached retina and missing a large part of his intestines. He doesn't remember a thing.

Ptsd is in part from memories. How is he he remembers nothing? I wish I could remember nothing.

Praying for him. It’s brave men like him that keep our country safe and protected from our enemies. May God bless him.
He's happy as can be and has zero memory of how he got some service ribbons citations.
