text: There is a correct way to approach veterans. First just give them a comfortable place to be with others.Never ask questions like have you killed anyone or hoe many have you shot. Ask no personal questions about any combat. By doing this it tends to make them relive the worst days over again Simply have a normal conversation like you would with any other friend. If they decide to talk about a problem listen but do not judge or give advise. I know from experience that even single person deals problems in their own way. What works for me may not work for them. What they really need is friendship and understanding in times of need. Always be available when they need understanding.
