The Army also has, serious problems because of the multiple deployments, the bizzare Rules of Engagement in a sureal war against insurgents within a population, and nation building there are significant issues for the returning vets of PTSD, substance abuse, family problems, employment problems and high suicide rates.

Lets hope this general also deals with this horrendous fallout and either steps up to create within DOD for better treatment of the veterans immediately upon coming out of service and put increasing pressure on the VA to INCREASE all services.
To have a 3 month waiting list for a vet to get into resdiential PTSD treatment in appalling!

The Department of Defense is a separate organization from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
