Ptsd should be paid more attention to, and not make soldiers feel isolated or embarressed. im doing a project on war linked with ptsd and i was shocked with what i found out. everything that goes on in war is covered up so well that most of us dont even realise whats happening.

Part of the disease is that we withdraw into ourselves, as we begin to question our sanity and our right to live. How we treat out veterans is a national disgrace. We promise them benefits - none of which are really worth risking your life for. These people go to war, face the possibility of serious injury or death, to protect us, to fight our battles. They do their part of the bargain. When it comes time to make good on our side of the bargain - to pay for their injuries, to try to heal them - we renege. This is a crime.

My son has been repeatedly ignored for nearly two years. There are THOUSANDS of veterans if not more coming back with physical and psychological injuries. But they just aren't important to the government anymore so they're thrown away...hidden like an embarrassing relative. I know Jonathan in my own way because PTSD lives with us.
