In this episode of the Wet Boots Podcast, I engage in a deep conversation with Mike Morini, a veteran and author of 'Mild PTSD.' We explore Mike's military background, the impact of 9/11 on perceptions of military service, and the challenges veterans face when transitioning to civilian life. The discussion delves into the complexities of PTSD, memory distortion, and the importance of communication among veterans. Mike shares personal stories from his time in combat, the struggles with mental health, and the need for community support. The conversation culminates in reflections on life after service and the aspirations for a better future for veterans.
