Love Your Veterans...
April 30, 2003
Educate yourself about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and understand that the war will never be over for those who served:
young soldier nodded his head, listening, thinking the thoughts he then spoke: "I just hope that these people can find it in their hearts to forgive us, and that they know it was an accident."Then Spc. 1st Class Bill Scates of Oklahoma City spoke. "I had to look that woman right in the eyes," he said, "and I felt so horrible for her. I've got a little girl."
His rage began to boil. "I'm constantly angry over what happened with that family. ... I'm pissed off at my chain of command for not putting up signs in every language (at that checkpoint), to warn 'em. Normally I'm a talkative guy, a happy person, — but I've been real quiet lately, because I'm so pissed off. I'm thinking more and more I'm so frustrated, so angry, I want to choke somebody ... constantly."
Not to mention the PTSD that is no doubt rampant among the Iraqi survivors.

there's going to be a huge expose some time in the next 10-20 years about all of the soldiers who were given crank so they could go without sleep longer, and from the combined ptsd and amphetamine psychosis came back and cut their wives' throats and committed suicide...it's happened to like half a dozen servicemen in this region already.
