[James C. Bennett]

A pill? Thats it, 48 months of counting bodies of friends and enemies, kids and women with limbs ripped off, faces gone.. Take 2 and call me in the morning, poof.. Excuse me, but count me skeptical.. I’d love to be wrong, wouldn’t be a first..

Your chemical brain and chemical thought processes can be wildly influenced by chemical means. It's why people take drugs.

Thanks James, I just recovered from surgery, cancer, and hernia, and am, and have been taking medication (12 pills daily) for years.. My point is the traumatic events that our service personnel have endured is both physical, emotional, and it’s asking a great deal..

I’m suggesting overwhelmingly so, to erase 4-6 consecutive tours in combat.. The stress and emotional debilitation being experienced is almost a necessary reaction as part of the grieving mechanism.. To hope that the pill came overcome those memories, mental images, and vivid dreams will disappear is a bit problematic for me..

The fact that I sit here this day, is testimony to my belief in and trust in medicine and it’s practitioners, but I understand the gravity of this malady and can only pray for it’s success..
