Question of the Day: What should you say (or not say) when interacting with combat veterans? These are general guidelines when interacting with a veteran and should not be considered absolutely true for every veteran. Every Soldier, Marine, Airman, or Sailor that has been deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Somalia or any other combat theater has had a different combat experience. How they deal with their experiences will vary depending upon age, culture, faith, gender, community support, and the presence of or lack of a family and/or social support system. A combat veteran is not the same person they were before being deployed, and how the civilian population interacts with them can either help or hinder their transition.
