For many Vietnam combat veterans, the war never ended. They fight it over and over again in their minds. Their condition is called post-traumatic stress disorder. The Department of Veterans Affairs has made significant strides in treating these vets, but the VA is able to meet only a small part of the veterans' demand for treatment. A need exists at the community level, particularly in rural areas, where many veterans do not have access to the specialized treatment they need without traveling great distances and navigating red tape.
对于许多参加过越南战争的退伍军人来说，战争从未结束。他们在脑海中一遍又一遍地重温战争。他们的这种状况被称为创伤后应激障碍。退伍军人事务部在治疗这些退伍军人方面取得了重大进展，但退伍军人事务部只能满足退伍军人治疗需求的一小部分。社区层面存在需求，尤其是在农村地区，许多退伍军人如果不长途跋涉并应对繁琐手续，就无法获得他们所需的专门治疗。
