The big flap this week is that the head of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, is afraid returning veterans will join right-wing extremist organizations. Given how badly we treat veterans returning with PTSD, that’s not a big surprise.
We destroy them and discard them.
Check the stories here and here.
Maybe it’s time to treat our veterans right and give them the help they need to return to civilian life successfully.
Well, that’s what we’re trying to do here. If you read Faces of Combat, PTSD & TBI, you’ll know, too, where the problems are and what we can do to help.
We are going to continue this crusade until appropriate health care is available. Many voices are required, including yours. Please help.
