    TheDude I'm calmer than you.

    Nor I but I have always been curious about it. My father spoke of shell shock as a result of WWII, and many of his peers dealt with this but he never described it as "suffering" from it. To hear him tell it, it made them all a bit more jumpy, especially to loud sudden noises. Around the Fire Station, combat vets took that as an opportunity to mess with each other. I don't think there were support groups for it. Though I am sure there were far more sever cases than what my father and his friends had.

    I suppose there is a generational difference to consider as well. With few exceptions, I don't see the reflection of my parent's generation in our present one. Perhaps that is an immeasurable factor as well.

    Be honest. Did you find this baby in the wreckage of a rocket in a cornfield?
