Veterans and active duty military members have a difficult time talking about the trauma they have experienced. One big reason is too many people wear their trauma like a badge of honor; they think their trauma is "better" than everyone else's and they don't want to hear about other people's problems. Trauma is not a competition and everyone reacts to traumatic situations differently. We need to do better as a community at supporting those who have been wounded, no matter how we perceive their level of trauma.
