I feel guilty as a veteran

Is it normal that as a veteran I feel guilty and ashamed that I only did one operation tour (Iraq in 2003)?

Is It Normal?

  • No , that’s not normal mate ! You did a tour at a pretty rough time too , you may have only done . ONE . Tour but that’s one more tour than many would dare to do , you are and always will be a hero for that as a serving man myself I promise you , you have nothing to feel guilty for at all

  • Yeah, I know a few veterans that worked in logistics. One was a truck driver and he says he wished he were infantry and saw combat. I think he feels like there's no glory in not being one of the ppl fighting.
