American Soldiers in Iraq..when they come back home?

Question

alot of them will have PTSD...true or false? Why is this war still going on????

Answer 1

because your president does not have a brain~

Answer 2

Being a student of history, I knew going into the war that we would be over there for a very long time. There is a saying that history repeats itself, and America's involvement in Iraq is eerily similar to America's involvement in Vietnam. The difference this time around is that the United States might be able to establish and tenuous peace in Iraq, but this is not a certainty. There are many different factions that do not agree with each other and it looks as if the US may be there for awhile longer. There is talk of withdrawing American troops, but there was also talk of this one, two, and three years ago. Similarly, during the Vietnam
War there was always talk of withdrawing troops, but the United States was involved in the politics of Vietnam from the 1950's, all the way up to take over of Saigon by the communist forces in 1975. There is not guarantee as to how America's part in Iraq will turn out, but the thing that is certain is that we will be there for awhile longer.

Answer 3

that's no longer really a question of ways many squaddies come abode from Iraq in a body bag. From Iraq, you'd be too many. Why do I say this? . . . . because Iraq had honestly no longer some thing to do with what befell on 9/11. this isn't even some thing which will be intelligently debated. No knowledgeable man or woman believes that Iraq had some thing in any respect to do with 9/11. yet, even right here on Yahoo solutions, you'll locate those who will say that we are in Iraq because of 9/11, or because we ought to keep in innovations the teachings of 9/11. Are those human beings kidding? Is that between the teachings of 9/11 . . . that if we are attacked, we ought to continuously attack some usa that did not have some thing to do with it? perhaps after the jap attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, we ought to continuously have attacked Costa Rica and lengthy gone round declaring that we ought to keep in innovations the teachings of December seventh?

Answer 4

Have you even talked to anyone who's been over here, or are you basing your decision on what the media is feeding you?

Some will have more touble than others reintigrating back into society than others, but how is that different than any other war we've been in?
I truly feel sory for those of you who haven't been over here, because you honestly have no idea what's going on. You're spoon-fed "dead, dead, dead" every day by a media who hates the Bush administration and gets most of its reports 2nd or 3rd hand because the reporters over here are too scared to leave Baghdad. The ones who report "from Baghdad" are mostly reporting from the HUGE base around the Baghdad International Airport (which IS open for commercial traffic by the way). When you see the reporters on TV with their hair done and the grim face and body armor (with no dirt on it) WITHOUT A HELMET, that should tell you how safe it is where they're reporting at.

You NEVER hear of the schools being rebuilt, the hospitals being rebuilt and restocked for the first time in decades, the roads and infrastructure being rebuilt, and the positive accomplishments of the Iraqi government (which, by the way is farther along than our own American government was after ITS Revolutionary War. It took us 10 YEARS to have a Constitution, but you don't hear that comparison on TV). Nope, and if no one gets killed over here, the news is strangely quiet about Iraq. You also never hear the running body count of murders in the U.S., which averages about 17, 000 every year.

Before you make claims and decide on a cause, make sure you have your facts right.

Answer 5

I think that many of them probably will have PTSD to a certain extent depending on their circumstances while in Iraq. But I know many won't/haven't. I even know one who would like to go back because he feels that the job isn't finished over there. His family is what is stopping him from re-enlisting.
I agree with Alex B. PhD as to why the war is still happening.

Answer 6

They will be home when the job is done. The war is still going on because Iraq has not yet established a stable enough democracy that is strong enough to supress the growing terror cells within the Iraq borders

Answer 7

Officially, no, they don't have PTSD. If they admit to having it, they're kicked out of the service and loose all their benefits.

If they say they don't have it, they suffer from it in silence and don't get the proper treatment!

IT'S A TRAVESTY !

The war is still going on because Bush refuses to admit he screwed up!

Answer 8
