Veterans still feel Vietnam scars

BBCNews: Vietnam is a 30-year nightmare, from which Jim Doyle is still trying to wake.

Every week he sees a psychiatrist, but no-one can free him from the demons of war. The smallest things - like the smell of diesel - bring the memories flooding back. But it is the big things that worry him most. "Nobody who has ever been to war wants to see anybody else go there," he said. "So Iraq has been a very difficult time".

"War is hell," he adds. "It has an impact on the people who take part that never heals." Link
