I only know one Desert Storm vet. He is African American. He never talks about his experience except when he is under stress/drunk. At that point he tries to talk about it but can't and weeps uncontrollably. He also keeps himself pretty continuously drugged. Since the WTC bombing he has been pretty strongly "patriotic."
