Subject: RE: BS: post-traumatic stress in vets from Iraq
I can tell you from first hand experience that the armed forces are so overtaxed that every wack-job that can hold up an M-16 is being sent over there and they don't get to come back unless they are about to be slipped into a body bag. If the public knew what was going on over there Bush would have lost in a landslide.
The PTSD is horrendous: from constant mortar fire, rapes, assaults, sickening physical and mental abuse and I could go on and on but it's all confidential. The suicide attempts are continual and if you can sit up after you overdosed, you're going back.
If my son gets drafted. I'll personally smuggle my son over the Ambassador Bridge. Bush is a crimignal psychtopath. (Typos so Google doesn't pick this up)
