Where is our politicians which we have wrote and they do nothing. we have the government NPRC, VA losing our reocords and admit it then we are denied by the VA for compensation because there is no records. They are intentally losing records, so they do not have to give compensation. Right now I been wait 5 years because the NPRC lost and admits loosing my reocords, i have been denied from the VA and now I wait for the VA appeals board another 3 year wait.

it isn't just an issue of ptsd. soldiers are soldiers. expecting a soldier to be a civilian after discharge is like expecting an alien to become a human. its impossible. soldiers are a different breed. bred for war. keep them employed in what they are best at or they will fall apart! soldiering is all some soldiers know how to do! wouldnt you become a mental nutcase drug addict if they took you out of the senate and threw you on the street?
