I think that's something we do as a society and especially in the Military. We have to change the names of our problems so it looks like they went away and something new pops up. In reality it's the same thing, we think it presents its' self in a different manner so we change the name. The truth is, we are the ones that have changed not the disorder. We started with sticks and stones, we have crucified people on the cross. We now have machine guns and Nukes. Bombs that scatter thousands of little bombs.
Even Audie Murphy suffered from PTSD. We didn't call it that back then but it is documented. Audie Murphy was our most decorated war hero. He earned every medal of valor that the USA has and something like five more from different countries. After the war he went on to be a movie star but he was still messed up. This issue needs to be addressed.
PTSD is so very important to me because so very many of our Veterans suffer from this. I truly believe it is the leading cause of the 22. Twenty-two Vets take their own lives each and everyday. That's 22 to many. One can not blame PTSD for everything but if you compound that with loosing your job, maybe your wife leaving you, the dog dies, Hell I don't know play a country song and they're are a hundred different reasons to freak out. You have to understand; most, if not all of the Vets out there have seen Death and Destruction.
So Please, take a moment and copy, paste, and share this ribbon.
