Army Soldiers with PTSD
Posted on May 27th, 2008

All my life, my family has been apart of the army or marines and now there's a new article about over 50% of the soldiers who went to Iraq or Afghanistan have PTSD. My brother has been in the army for about 3 years now and now they are contemplating whether or not his unit should be stop-lossed again and be sent back to Afghanistan. It makes sense that over 50% of the soldiers have PTSD, but at the same time it's so upsetting. War effects the ones fighting for our country more than us. They are putting their lives on the line for us and they're struggling with their innerselves. The horrors they see are so upsetting. We don't give these soldiers enough credit for what they are doing for our country. There should be an award given to each and every soldier.
