I’m working with a guy right now that had severe PTSD to the point where he could not function in society. After two full tours of duty in the worst of the fighting in Afghanistan, being blown up, injured, and in the Warrior Transition Program to bring him back into society, now in his third re-enlistment they are trying to kick him out dishonorably with severe wounds, both physical and psychological. That means no disability or medical care after this young man was destroyed. It’s no wonder the suicide rate is so high.
Here is another.....

Tomorrow is the funeral to the brave soldier Jonathan Bartlett, an Iraq war veteran and double amputee who was featured in numerous Virginian-Pilot stories as he recovered from his injuries, died Tuesday at his home in Chesapeake. He was 27. Family members said he killed himself.
It’s a shame the way our veterans are being treated.
