Sandra, You hit on a valuable point - veterans not only must figure out how to come across in a positive manner face-to-face, but must also do the same in the online environment. Too many times I have read veteran posts that indicate a cynical and jaded response that sometimes turns off and many times anger other in the room. This only perpetuates the idea that all veterans are damanged and broken in some manner and that the community as a whole is not to be trusted. A littel coaching on how to create an appropriate online presence will go a long way to destroying these stereotypical myths.
