I'm curious...
Is there a Canadian equivalent of this (rather SocialMedia savvy) new support/networking service for U.S. Veterans :

One veteran of the peacekeeping mission in Croatia said the Balkan conflict was the beginning of the end of the old way of thinking.

"Back then, if a guy had trouble, he was kind of peeled off the herd. It's not the same any more."

The soldier said steps have been taken to deal with the emotional scars of war.

A couple of friends of mine served in the Balkan... They all came back, but some where really not the same anymore... Never gotten back to be even close to who they once were. VERY sad...
