Some 30,000 soldiers will be returning from combat to California every year for some time to come. For many, the combat experience won't go away. They suffer from constant fear, panic attacks, anger management and other kinds of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. We talk with a veteran of Vietnam, who helps the next generation of returning warriors to deal with the new and challenging realities of civilian life, and hear from recent vets making the transition from combat to college. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, the Tea Party and the GOP presidential nomination.
