Jon Bland enlisted after 9/11, served an extended tour in Iraq seeing his fellows blown up, and was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army. He won a Bronze Star and was diagnosed with PTSD.
Then last week, he got a letter from the Army: He's been recalled to fight in Afghanistan. [Wichita Eagle]
I think its a sad day when our men and women have to be sent back to fight, when they have a mental illness !
Has anybody not seen the news ! You have military members shooting others because there stress out!
IS the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION NOT LISTENING!They are LIKE THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND !! Come on people we could have got Mickey Mouse to do a better JOB !!

This is really shocking news that a soldier suffering from PTSD is again called back to a battlefield before he could come out of it. I think thorough physical and psychiatric investigation of a soldier should take place before he is sent to serve in a battlefield. :O
