US Troop Kills 4 and self in Baghdad
We have got to get these guys out of Iraq !!!!!
PTSD troops are being re deployed over and over
and anyone who know squat about the illness
knows people suffering from this condition
cannot be re exposed to the trauma that put
them in this condition to begin with.
It is the same as taking a rape victim and
having them raped over and over and not
expecting consequences of harm.

I know a little something about this condition.
Correction...I know a lot about this condition
and if after 35 years a PTSD patient is uncomfortable
at a Fireworks show, what in the world would
happen if he or she was constanty on guard and
forced to be in constant battle. They should
change the name to battle fatigue or Shell shock
and quit pretty little labels on an illness that is
real.
