More Soldiers Coming Home w/ PTSD

Look at the veterans of WW2, Vietnam, and now Iraq. Over the years, our military has become soft. WW2 veterans never spoke of what they saw. Vietnam vets...sometimes spoke. Iraq vets...talk to much. Why? Because liberal politicians got a bug up their ass and turned our once great military into a more "gentle" military. Its war, people. Not a fucking vacation.

STUPID TURK, PTSD is ages old! That our govt will NOT help its vets is nothing new and simply indicative of what to expect from govt controlled health care! Deny, deny, deny!!

You ARE blaming the soldiers! You ARE generalizing the deeds of a few to the many! The leadership IS to blame! BUT you are blaming Bush/Cheney for what OBAMA/BIDEN are continuing, will continue to allow!

The whole govt needs to be removed, stripped of its wealth and power, imprisoned and replaced, to way back, the 1890s!

I live in colorado springs my husband is in the army stationed at carson and is a combat engineer and has PTSD really bad and it is has ripped our marriage apart. He is very angry and wants just to go back. Told me he wants and craves war and killing :(. He won't see help and the army won't listen to me when i tell them that he needs help and that he isn't right. He is going to snap one day. If you pray please keep me in your prayers my name is kate his is rhett. :( PTSD is so hard to deal with.

Kate,
Call the Denver VA extension 4602 and ask to speak with the PTSD Program coordinator. She'll direct in the right direction. DON'T WAIT

God Bless you, and I salute You My Nephew was KIA, Iraq Dec 2006. Crpl Mathew J Stanley. He was on his second tour, married not even a yr. For a small town kid, he sure got some people talking. ( When Senator McCain started wearing Matt's bracelet) I'm a Vet myself and about 18 months ago took part in a documentary filmed for Vets w/PTSD using a rel new approach called EFT. We have to do what we can to support you guys. Peace EFT4MeDebi

Absoluteley! I never understood politics. We have more people than ever out of work, losing their homes and worse. It bogs the mind, why is it we still have kids in America that go to bed hungry in what is supposed to be the richest country in the world? It makes no sense, I understand helping others, but what about helping ourselves first? Look at the prisons, overcrowded with over 81% of inmates doing time because of Drug/Alcohol related problems. I don't have the answers, who does?

"of course people are going to use car bombs and child soldiers"

Wait a second, your saying using child soldiers is something acceptable? Or even a consideration ? Who in their right mind could justify the use of children as weapons? Just a question,do you have children?

Acceptable? You wanna talk about whats acceptable? When an child See's his mother head getting blown of by an soldier is that acceptable? When a child's home is burnt down because soldiers can is that acceptable? When little girls are being raped by soldiers is that acceptable? When female soldiers are being sexually assaulted by male soldiers is that acceptable?When your torn away from your family is that acceptable? When Your country is being invaded is that acceptable?

who the hell are you let me take a wild guess you were never in the military and have absolutly no idea about what ur talking about

It's time to withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan, what is happening and has happened is tragic. "One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one." Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976)
