FRONTLINE- the wounded platoon- watch the full program online - PBS part 3

[tntschuh]

The Army seems to fabricate many stories to avoid properly treating soldiers who have given their physical and emotional health to defend our freedoms...these are honorable American soldiers deserve the best we have to give... my nephew is also being mistreated.

For the complete PBS video contact me. The site will not copy and paste.

So many lives have been destroyed it is a national disgrace. Our military leaders have failed their own troops and then when they get out the V.A. fails them. There is no justice. I would like to hear from more veterans. You served your country well. Stand tall and be proud that you were a courageous warrior. War is HELL and your memories are terrible. Thank you and your family for your sacrifice.

[DPAUL116]

We need more people to sound off. Tell us how you hate the war.Tell us how you hate the way our troops killed woman and children. Tell us you don't respect our troops. Congress sent them to war. At least have the cajones to write to the members of congress and bitch. DO NOT DEGRADE THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TO HELL AND BACK FOR MY FREEDOM AND YOUR FREEDOM. OUR TROOPS SHOULD BE EARNING OUR RESPECT AND JUSTICE ON THE BATTLEFIELD. As an Army veteran and I salute you. Walk tall and recover your pride.

Viniciusb, Thanks for responding. I totally agree with you. Bush and Cheney wanted this unjustified war. My grandson is a Marine and got home 2 years ago. His PTSD is bad. As you saw in the video our soldiers were taught to kill and wreak havoc. The ranking NCO's and commanders treated them like crap. The military and the V.A. are unsuccessful in theating their PTSD. As with my grandson, the courageous warriors came home with extreme guilt, shame and sorrow. War is Hell. Destroyed too many lives

[viniciusb]

They are treating this platoon as if it's an exception. People who went to this war, went there to kill and to do other horrendous things. Everybody knows that this war was unjustified since when it started. Vote me down, but it's the sad truth.

@DPAUL116 You mean, the guy who killed a bunch of civilians?

[texasdu]

i was in that platoon....it made us look like assholes.

[NotYourTypicalNegro]

texasdu, I didn't think that at all.

[Revbone450]

@texasdu I dont think so....I think you guys come off as overworked and emotionally damaged, the pole smoking general that defends the use of psych drugs is the asshole.

[DPAUL116]

@texasdu . Thank you for your service. I live near "Doc" Krebbs and also met with Jose Barco in prison last week. He is a fine warrior and served his country like you. Everyone has his breaking point. You kill or be killed. The enemy no longer wear uniforms. Women have RPG's and they give kids armed grenades to give you as a "gift". You all went crazy. You had enough of that madness. Our citizens must at least respect you for your sacrifice and forgive you for what you had to do in combat.

[DPAUL116]

@texasdu Please contact me. davidp116@live.com. I would like to know you. I help veterans with PTSD at no cost. I have some websites to send you.

[texasdu]

@DPAUL116 ok..

[DPAUL116]

@texasdu Receved your OK by email today. I woulld like to write you directly by email. You were all courageous warriors and are heroes. All of you were pushed well beyond your limit. Those who now judge you are idiots. You went to a HELL that I never want to see. I know you all feel guilt and shame. I have talked with a lot of vets including those who fought in Korea. You are all the same. PTSD is terrible. I hope some day you are able to find some inner peace. GOD BLESS davidp116@live.com
