"Over
the last 12 years, many Soldiers have returned from Iraq and
Afghanistan with wounds, some visible and some not, said a leader in
Army Medicine.
"The invisible wounds -- post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury -- are just as damaging as the visible ones. They impact the families as well as the Soldiers," said Brig. Gen. John M. Cho, a doctor, and deputy chief of staff for operations with Army Medical Command."--D.Vergun
Perhaps the realization that invading foreign lands and killing, torturing, and raping innocent people for the sake of "freedom" and democracy is just too much to bear for some. Post traumatic stress disorder has not only psychologically damaged individuals, it has also created broken families and produced domestic violence. Statistics also show there is a percentage of returning army members that need psychological help and counseling in order to go about their daily activities. What a price to pay for the false illusion of "freedom".
