Nearly 3 in 5 liberals have mental problems due to Bush Darangement Syndrom.
Yeah, well, from my observations, it appears that about two point five out of three reporters do after they are hired.
> Nearly 1 in 5 troops has mental problems after war service
This is roughly in line with the 20% of all people in the general population suffering from some form of mental abnormality (usually Depression).
In otherwords, a non-story that somebody clever in the MSM beat up to discredit the Military and the WOT and (by extension) the President of the United States and his administration.
It would be indeed remarkable if fewer than one in five Military personnel had a mental illness — before, during, or after Service.
The MSM are such poltroons!
One quarter of Americans meet the criteria for mental illness. One quarter of those, or 1 in 16, has a “serious” mental illness making them unable to function.

Typical mendacious MSM headline.
“War Service” indicates mere presence in a war zone,meaning both dangerous areas and those that are pacified.
The correct headline should read:
“1 in 5 Suffer Mental Problems After COMBAT Experience.”
Makes a hell of a diference don’t it?
Oh give me just one big honkin’ break.........
Soldiers and their families and citizens alike continue to suffer the BS of elitist, greedy, ignorant & arrogant politicians whose policies lead us to war to begin with.
W made the correct decision in this case specifically because of Iran and AQ and the global economy. Unfortunately, he and us Americans and our soldiers have had to also fight the BS for the politics from the Left as they typically use all their tricks to regain power.
Our brave military also needs more visible support on the home front.

One concern they left out was that in the light of the school shootings at Virginia Tech last year, the bed-wetting politicians passed a bunch of laws making it harder for anyone with a hint of these kinds of troubles from EVER owning a firearm.
They would NOT exempt our honorable military members from such draconian conditions. This means many veterans will never be able to legally get a gun if they get documented help. So forget hunting, self protection, or any job such as law enforcement, security guard, etc for these folks.
I would advise our fine young veterans to seek help only if they could do so anomymously or without a paper trail. Sad, huh?
And nearly one in five young adult males who have NOT served in the military are afflicted with the mental disorder called LIBERALISM!
And the feds will do a little for a few years and then nothing for anyone with any firther problems.

“Only about half of those with mental health problems have sought treatment. Even fewer of those with head injuries have seen doctors.”
If they haven’t sought treatment then how do we know that they exist? The article is written as if the Rand report was an absolute and verifiable fact yet it appears that at least some of the data that would make it so is missing.
One of my bumper stickers.....
Marines dont suffer from insanity...we enjoy every minute of it!!!
At it is the worst sort of combat, Counter Insurgency. Bet if you looked the record you would find the same, or greater, percentage of combat vets from previous wars had trouble readjusting back to civilian life. Most will heal, a few, sadly, never will. Totally misleading propaganda pretending to be "Journalism" yet again.
No surprise, most men don’t go to anyone for help on ANY medical issue.
