In Iraq we put them in the middle of intersectarian warfare (Shites and Sunis) in Afghanistan we put them in between factional tribal leaders and the Taliban, now there in between two Nations. When we put our men and women in uniform in these types of horrifically stressful situations how can we not expect the tsunami of suicides, PTSD and depression we are witnessing. It’s a rhetorical question for the readers of this blog whose answer is, “if we send them, we must mend them”. Enough said. http://nyti.ms/qe8V9f
