We are still in those devil blessed countries of Iraq and Afghanistan.Until we get out completely and ALL our people are out, the war will not be over.Of course for the politicians that are getting money from the companies doing business in those countries the war will never be over.It is not for democ racy but for money.

dont blame the veterens affairs for this problem,as for myself a veteren who uses these services i can tell you they do the best they can with what they have.take your blame and place it where it belongs please ,on a bunch of jerks in washington who believe its better to spend more money on better ways to kill people than it is to spend it on those who are already wounded!get it rite and put the blame where it belongs and not on those who are trying to help

It is a disgrace that the Veteran Affairs does not offer better PTSD screening. I know it is macho to not admit you need help and that is part of the problem. Perhaps we can offer something similar to the aptitude and psyc evaluations. Those who are unable to receive treatment end up in prison. That is no way to treat our heroes.
