Wartorn: 1861-2010, Part 4/5 (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.

they will never understand. never understand what its like. i went over their hoping to get some. i did. now i cant sleep without drinking a 6 pack, now i wake up sweating with dreams of limbs and fucking explosions, i get pissed off because no 1 understands me.

6 years...thats bullshit.if he is not fit to function in normal society then he should be put in a rehabilitation program ....not throw in prison with a bunch of twisted scumbags, it will only mess him up more to be surrounded by that kind of environment.how will that help his situation or those around him ??

.... the system is seriously fucked up

[MrPansay]

watch the movie "waltz with bashir" foreign film directed by israeli who has ptsd and it shows him having a major discovery about himself which shows why he feels guilty. the soundtrack from that is in this.

that wife needs to be way more supportive. the man is depressed, and she is clearly riding him for it. that is a shame.

All I want to do is serve my country I need to go back and have that HIGH again blood pumping scared and LIVING again. Does that make any sence to you. PTSD

[JuliusGulius]

the funniest thing is how doctors used to treat the men coming back from world war 1, like they just needed to get over it, these men were the bravest of the brave if their minds were effected by war anyone's would be

[kungfootruck]

well its just war all the way around, 360 degrees and 4000 fahrenheit. my curiosity finally got the best of me and i joined the AF in 2005, went to B-dad in in 2008 was there for 8 months and i have not been the same since. all sorts of trouble with johnny law when i came home. would drink to sleep, would do shots to take my VA meds. looking back on it, i'm surprised i survived and didn't kill anyone on just the transition of returning home. PTSD is very real and they should roll joints for US!

The mom is turning the boy away from his father. Fucking bitch. She's just setting the situation, so when she leaves or cheats on the guy, she can take everything including the kids, away from him.
