I am one of these victims and am battling to get diagnosed by the VA with PTSD this shhhhhht is real talk. The VA wants to continue focusing on what they call a Personality Disorder and try to cluster me in a group instead of really treating my condition of PTSD so they dont have to worry about me. What is so funny is that they things they are saying about me IRRITABILTY MOOD ANXIETY all fall in with PTSD they have me on CITALOPHRAM, PROZASIN, TRAZADONE, DEPAKOTE(but switched to lithium

FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND homeless disabled veterans! That's a national outrage! That's the invisible 'cost' of a corrupt, treasonous sold-out corporate-run government that uses the military as the enforcement arm of their foreign policy protection & exploitation racket, waging opportunistic wars of aggression. We spend trillions of dollars on weapons & violence solving 'problems' our leaders create, conflicts that are totally unnecessary, fraudulent & wasteful, with many, many millions of victims.

What the hell is the matter with our government? Thanks for putting this up. Too bad less than 500 people have seen it.

This is a very important video to watch. I'm a disabled Vet myself and have found out that there are 400,000 homeless disabled veterans in the U.S. The big reason is that he process of receiving disability is so difficult and massive that a person with a mental or severe disablity cannot go through all of the paperwork. The solution would be for anyone applying for disability would receive a provisional disability then the VA would have to prove that they are not disabled. C. Jeff Dyrek
