Why do veterans not support each other?

Hey guys. Just wondering what your experiences are with other vets.

I've had mostly positive experiences with other vets, but I'm baffled by other experiences that weren't so great. For instance, I joined a hobby group run by mostly vets and even a VA RN. Most of the group is cool with me but the vets running it seem to be at odds with me for unknown reasons and won't let things go. Then there was a time I had a boss that is a vet. He was unnecessarily adversarial with me. Although to be fair my non-vet coworkers made a similar observation about him.

Any thoughts on this? It just seems like a betrayal. I make it a point to be respectful to other vets and support them any way I can professionally given the chance. I just thought we'd be more supportive of each other.

Untreated mental illness/ substance abuse destroying their lives and burning everything/everyone around them. Some come around and some don't unfortunately. Denial and thinking everyone else is wrong is a shame.

I'm sorry that you are dealing with that, SpecFo. I know it doesn't just go away as well. My 20s and early 30s especially could be defined by that. I'm still in the burn everything around me but I'm trying to be more expressive to share how I'm feeling. I hope something good happens to you today.
