          Yep its tragic...Ive seen a lot of guys come home and they ask for help and the damn DR.gets um on drugs. I think thats the worst thing they can do for um. Also a lot of these guys wanted to serve and now the goverment is shutting the military down under the asshole in chief we have. These guys go from making a living to nothing and cant get a job in a matter of months....its fucked up they just say fuck it.

            Tragic and shameful. One of my buddies just got approved for his VA benefits after 3 years of red tape hell. Numerous times of denial and "sorry we lost your documents, please resubmit". Sadly he would be considered a success story. No one deserves to be treated better than our vets yet they are often treated quite the opposite.

                    The Army doesn't support the results. How sad. You don't need a complex formula to realize the effects of endless wars, cutbacks, extended tours, and declining living conditions takes on a soldier. Instead they lower the threshold to obtain a higher positive percentage.

                      Our own AMERICA is like a Chinese sweat shop. We send young men/women to fight, some barely even legal of age, let alone can have an adult beverage. We send thousands of them there with no regards to their families or the soldier. Yet AMERICA still wants to control everything we do?! Sad

                        Listen up army, I've got an excellent program to reduce PTSD and other problems among our soldiers..

                        HOW ABOUT NOT MESSING AROUND FIGHTING WARS ALL OVER THE DAMN WORLD???

                        HAVE WE NOT BEEN AT WAR ANY TIME SINCE 1941?
