This will be a big issue for the US as more vets arrive back at home. Taking part in war causes mental illnesses. Seeing these young people in such bad mental health justifies ending the US wars.

These women need so much help, i feel for them

[bristles1000]

@mephesh no it doesn't

female r never in combat!,there is a difference between being in combat and being in a war zone, but i do agree that once you're outside the wire,u'r life is in 'imminent danger' yah they see bad things that will qualify them to have a PTSD. But combat? is when you're part of ' taking the fight to the enemy". get it?

[salinakimmy]

nothing has changed. there is no treatment if your a female. i tried and was told no i couldn't go to the programs

[Mujangga]

Is PTSD different for women then men? Why the special focus?

Considering the operations by the CIA like, "air America", Iran/contra/mena ark/guns and cocaine, and the current poppy fields my buddies protect, I would have to agree.

That would be one piece of all the corruption that is going on. All of which, make money, and power/control.

How about Saudi Arabia and CNN? I am about the real stuff, I don't allow the Media to lead me around I stick to the core problems.

I am so irritated listening to the current debates when there are real problems that need taken care of. I bet we will agree allot. 90% of America most likely agrees on these issues that are swept under the rug for , gay marriage, global warming, and healthcare. Drug war is a major issue a core problem in America, ending this would end allot of corruption.

@VeohBlows Very true. Funny how people, who don't always agree, can come up with some answers, but "they" can't fix anything. Real f*cking funny!

Maybe something should be done with the corporation ownerships of the media we get as well. It has become a part of the game as well. When GE owns media, you can't expect them to worry about us, when more money is made on agenda's and keeping us with a specific perception that helps continue it.

I want term limits for Judges, district justice level and up, also any other government seat and or office should always have term limits.POLICE Chief term limits. We got some crappy DJ's around here that never go the F away. Most of the Judges at the county court house still the same after 15 or more years.....Those SOB's just got caught using Tax payer funds for trips, cars, and stuff, nothing will be done because they are in a Club "Them against US" club.
