    Has anyone been reading the Doonesbury series on BD's struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

    I've really enjoyed it.

    Haven't missed a day! It's been wonderful!

    Giff did you read any of the lead up strips to the last two weeks? The weeks of strips with his wife, daughter and best friend Mike D were just heartbreaking.

    I've been reading every day. It looks like BD is going to reveal that he accidently killed or severely injured a civilian. Think about how easy it would be to do that in a combat situation like soldiers face in Iraq and how bad it would mentally f_ck you up, if you had any kind of conscience at all.
