War Veterans PTSD Study At Mass. General Hospital-A Sign Of The Times
31 Oct 2008
Heres is a photo I took of an ad on the Boston subway. It's a medical study to find ways of treating combat PTSD in military veterans. A sign of the times-a generation of young people are being sent off to an insane war and the trauma of war has taken soldiers' sanity-hence the diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Heres is a photo I took of an ad on the Boston subway--It's a medical study to find ways of treating combat PTSD in military veterans. A sign of the times-a generation of young people are being sent off to an insane war and the trauma of war has taken soldiers' sanity-hence the diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In WW II it was termed "shell shock" or "battle fatigue". The final underline is that the human person wasn't meant to kill other human persons; and when a person kills, it wrecks his or her psyche. And I do not blame the individual soldiers--I do blame the evil leaders, Bush-Cheney and their henchmen, for sending our young people to war to do our "leaders" killing for them, because our "leaders" are rich, cowardly, and if they had to go fight their wars themselves, they wouldn't and the wars would never start.

Let's support Veterans For Peace and Iraq Veterans Against The War
http://www.ivaw.org
for the healing they provide our veterans.
Veterans Day is coming up November 11, and the Iraq Veterans Against The War will be marching in the Boston Veterans Day parade--more power to them.
