I think I personally would make a good example of a normal, well rounded guy who just wanted to travel and see the world for a few years. I do not smoke, drink, or go to parties much. Yet the things I have been through may or may not have given me depression or ptsd. My chances of finding decent employment back home has taken a big hit as well due to my resume showing how long I had stayed abroad. The East/West paradigm as seen on a participant level can be given my me on a scale that has not been documented before.

John, I do agree with you that a documentary needs to be made on this subject. It isn't just the people who are retired and bitter at the west or the spoiled middle to upper middle class kids who want to be pampered who may have gotten more than they bargained for. Normal people have wasted too much time in places with little love, caring, and decency. That does affect their own lives in terms of re-assimilating back into their own society when they go back home. If there is me, there must be many others out there who feel the same way.
