PTSD ....IRAQ VETERANS

One of the issues that ticks me off the most is how whenever anyone tries to mention Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam(etc) veterans who have PTSD or TBI, Bush just turns the other way!!! We've just finished a big unit in ELA right now about PTSD(my teacher is very open about his political views. He posts up political cartoons outside his door, and all over his room are anti-war stickers and whatnot), and I absolutely hate what I've had to read and watch! It's just disgusting what these people have to go through. And a big percentage of the homeless population are VETERANS! HOW DUMB IS THAT???? I may absolutley hate war, but I respect soldiers. They risked their lives for what they thought was the right thing, and they deserve respect. 1 out of THREE SOLDIERS that comes back from iraq ends up with PTSD. that's horrible!!!!!
