In August of 2009, No Kidding, Me Too!, Joe Pantoliano, Lisa Jay, and Dr. Bob Irvin from McLean Hospital went on the "Stomp The Stigma" tour for ten days in Iraq. They screened Joey's documentary "No Kidding, Me 2!", spoke about their experience with mental illness, and interviewed troops about the growing problem of suicides and P.T.S.D. (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) as a result of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Produced by No Kidding, Me Too! / NKM2

  • Why aren't more people watching this. It is so well done with an important message.

  • For commanders to say they don't know how to solve this problem. They ARE the problem.

    The "choices" our leaders made to send our soldiers repeatedly into an unconventional war where the enemy wears civilian clothes, caused this problem.

    The Commander-in-Chief, Congress and military commanders need to recognize their own destructive behavior toward their own kind. They are the ones who need the psychiatrist.

  • Very insightful. Just grazing the tip of the iceberg of a monumental mental issue within the military that will not go away by itself. Unless the military trains its soldiers in boot camp to recognize potential mental problems that may arise; many of our soldiers will die by friendly fire.

  • Hooah! Way to stomp, guys. Nicely done video and magnificent mission. Keep up the good work.
