Pentagon to use US vets as guinea pigs?
Loading...
Uploaded by RTAmerica on Jan 17, 2012
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has been growing among US vets at an alarming rate. The trauma of war has over 300,000 deployed soldiers living with PTSD, which makes approximately 20 percent of vets. In 2010, the number of diagnosed cases have jumped 50 percent. Now the Pentagon has received an $11 million grant to study the effectiveness of a new drug on military vets. The drug, DCS, is thought to get rid of fearful memories and get the trama out of war. Doctor Jeff Kaye, blogger and TruthOut contributor joins us to discuss this new drug.

@TheActionheat to be cont'd..... anyways, I was kicked out with untreated ptsd. what is the solution? I fought for two years for an upgrade in my discharge. While im waiting on an upgrade, im working two jobs and exercising. I wish alot of you would have join and maybe your ludicrous comments wouldnt exist. Veterans are human beings and need as much help as possible. gay or straight, fuck it, we fought for your right to even be on youtube, without bullets flying over your forehead. ~~iraq vet

I am an iraq veteran, deploying during the SURGE (2007-2008) fifteen months. I return in June 2008, changed for life. I had a friend die in my arms and had to identify another friend at the mortuary affairs. I was a chaplain assistant and bisexual. I went to get help, but was denied thrice. If i went to get help, i would face UCMJ. I snapped on my NCO for calling me a faggot. The unit was stoploss. Later I'm charged with assualt and was kicked out for misconduct.
