Now, we have young vets coming back and not getting the psychological and PTSD care they desperately need-so they turn to suicide, drugs, alcohol and cant even function enough to hold down a job. they are expected to come back from war, and just fit right in-like they never left. thats impossible when you are traumatized everyday wondering if you will be alive later that day.
ill get off my soapbox now, i just feel the gov't is really neglegent in caring for our vets. |
OH, PLEASE! Don't ever get off that soap box! It is true and very shameful. Where would we be without those that serve? Not the home of the brave. Not the home of the free. Not the USA, that's for sure.
I am very appreciative and have much honor for those that have gone to do their duty to preserve the freedom that we call a way of life. Those that will go tomorrow, have gone today and have gone in times past. God Bless Them All!
