    It's only going to get worse, too... I'm willing to bet a lot of vets have it and don't even know they have it...

    Its very common and distressing and as usual it is not getting the attention it deserves for both the victims to receive better care,but as a wake up call for the politicians to realize the error of their ways

    Yeah, There's some stigma still attached to those kind of disorders too. In Kansas sometimes it's not really "cool" to be "afraid" of anything. :rolleyes:

    My sister in laws brother came back really messed up and to this day still is in anxiety over it and in times not to clear in mind. The images and presence at war would make any sane person delusional in the absence. I doubt any one would ever get pass that and the withdrawal strong for many then goes to new heights and depression.

    For some it has become a normal way of life and an involuntary addiction that needs to be fed and once it is taken away they have to find a new way of life all over again.
