> 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!

There is nothing like a few facts to destroy a good hit piece proffered by the propagandizing, pusillanimous poltroons of the MSM. :)

That's what I thought. A few months ago the press reported our troops were coming home homicidal maniacs. It turned out their homicide rate was much lower than the general population.

Name a Hollywood Movie made that has shown the American Military in a positive light since before the mid 1950s besides "The Green Berets" with John Wayne in the 1960s.

Name anything on TV in the last 40 years that does so.

Hollywood hates the Military, and it took a while for me to recognize the FACT that hollywood and the movie industry has simply no use for our Troops.

Same goes for the so called news media.
