HERE'S
ONE PERSON'S COMMENTS:
"They (PTSD
Vets) need to buck up and stop using sissy excuses to take advantage of the system.
What makes
it trauma is their naive view of the world. Getting some violence in their life is good for them.
Learning
to cope with it is better."

Currently, 25 Times More Veterans Are Dying From PTSD Suicide Than Combat
In Iraq
Yes, 25 Times More Veterans Are Dying From PTSD Suicide...
Shouldn't the PTSD issue be a major issue of the Presidential Campaign...
The White House, Congress and the Presidential Candidates know this information.
These veterans don't need "Words and Promises," they need action
NOW!!
CBS estimates say 120 veterans kill
themselves a week (over 480 a month)
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/13/cbsnews_investigates/main3496471.shtml
During the entire month
of May 2008, nineteen (19) Americans were killed in Iraq.
(The math was simple...
480 / 19 = 25.plus)
This will help cut back on the suicides.
"I'm looking
forward to the day that the federal government makes it a crime to harass the PTSD disabled; on the same criminal level
as Sexual Harassment and the harassment of any physical disability.
The 300,000
'new' PTSD veterans deserve at least this much..."

Veteran Suicides, PTSD, and Election
08': DOES AMERICA CARE?
Please watch this important, brief
video and pass it on to others, who care about America's PTSD Veterans.
http://www.capveterans.com/post_traumatic_stress_disorder_in_america_s_veterans/id19.htmlYour support can actually save lives. Please think
about it...
Congress can no longer bandaid this important issue. Many thousands
of lives depend on it. Over 120 'new' veterans are killing themselves a week.
Call the White House,
call your members of Congress and please call your presidential candidate. With 300,000 (And climbing) 'new' brave and honorable,
PTSD veterans, Congress must make it a priority to help these young Americans. That suicide count is climbing.
