Wartorn: 1861-2010, Part 2/5 (PTSD)

With suicide rates among active military servicemen and veterans currently on the rise, the HBO special WARTORN 1861-2010 brings urgent attention to the invisible wounds of war. Drawing on personal stories of American soldiers whose lives and psyches were torn asunder by the horrors of battle and PTSD, the documentary chronicles the lingering effects of combat stress and post-traumatic stress on military personnel and their families throughout American history, from the Civil War through today's conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

6:55 "...it takes all goddamn night to kill somebody" I can just imagine how nightmarish that is. Poor guy.

The military doesn't "untrain" anyone. They get what they need from you, and toss you to the wayside.

@manorphantom66 all that shooting civilians and controlling a foreign people in their own land got you shaken up? Think of how the people of Eire feel, with your anglo whore holding captive people in their own country.
