The mental health consequences of combat threaten to overwhelm a new generation of veterans. There are 1.7 million men and women who have served, or are currently serving, in Iraq and Afghanistan. About 1 in 5 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are suffering from a mental health injury, ranging from depression to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), as a result of their service.
Less than 1% of the U.S. population has served or is serving in the current conflicts and when they return home, their sense of isolation is often magnified. This campaigns long-term objective is to decrease the depression and PTSD-related outcomes among returning Vets by taking a two-pronged approach encouraging Veterans to join other Veterans at the first ever online community exclusive to OIF/OEF Vets, and separately, to empower their Friends and Family by helping them learn how to start constructive conversations. The challenges facing returning vets are myriad but with support from other Veterans, family, and friends the issues can be effectively dealt with.

hahahahaha did you all see that the guy had on 2 different unit patches he had the 82nd and the 101st i thought these people worked with us vets they couldn't be more wrong.
AS a Veteran of Vietnam I wish to tell all current veterans that the IAVA is scamming you with this video and their entire organization. This is an attempt by anti-military democratic senators and congressmen to salvage their reputations over the things they have done to your reputations and honor in the past few years. if you fall for this you are only fooling yourselves.
IAVA is a sham organisation funded by George Soros and is populated by the most leftist antiwar democrats. They are scamming veterans into thinking they are going to be helping them. If you want to get a true picture, go their web site and read their bullshit ratings of the leftist anti-military senators. Barbara Boxer, Pelosi, Schummer, Harry Reed and all of the most anti- military senators get an A+. While true supporters of the military and republicans get D's and F's. Pass the word to vets

We helped push congress to get things like body armor and armor for HUMVEES. And to bring to light issues such as PTSD.
Did you serve in Iraq? Or are you just another airmchair/youtube general?
