So, my brother just got an offer to join the rest of our Croatian troops in Afghanistan...He doesn't know what to do...I'm in the military also but I haven't joined the SF yet...And I think that I won't...He's a war veteran, he was in the Croatian War of Independence...but that was something different in that war he fought for his country but in my opinion the ISAF mission has nothing to do with Croatia...he saw a lot of gruesome things in that war and I think that he has a mild case of PTSD...He's assuring me that he'll be ok, but I'm not so sure...What do you guys think should he go or not?

It is his choice. Only he knows what he as seen or how he might handle it.

Well you're entitled to your opinion but us Croats are patriotic...Maybe a bit too much for our own good...My great great grandfather served in the military,my great grandfather served, my uncle and brother served...Every one of these people that I mentioned fought for the well being of Croatia and it's citizens it doesn't matter if it was WW1,2 or War of Independence...Croatia is an old country...more than 1400 years old and during all of these years we fought for ourselves...But this is the first time we're fighting for other countries and frankly I don't like it...

It really depends on how you feel about the conflicts your nation's involved in, doesn't it?

It's entirely his choice. If he's physically or mentally unfit to join I'm sure the army would take him out of service, or whatever it's called.

well in my opinion he's mentally unfit,but he's hidin' it so good that there's no way a psychiatrist would figure it out... Anyway since Croatia joined NATO there was a lot of personnel that came from other NATO countries even psychiatrists so maybe he'll go on a foreign evaluation...
