Through the VA Medical system...There is treatment for it now but, the VA has to make it a strong rule to treat it serious just as they would a bullet wound or more because PTSD is a life time wound and people who have true PTSD can be singled out just as easy as someone who is cripple, They must get the Veterans family involved if the family is willing or get a surrogate family, they need understanding support.

It is this government which had decided to invade Iraq and thereby cause all the problems that the two countries - America and Iraq - are facing today. It is this government, with President Bush as the Commander-in-Chief of the American forces, which has decided to continue sending more and more troops to Iraq, well-trained or ill-trained. So, at the end of the day, it is this government which has the sole responsibility to find all ways and means of taking very good care of the troops suffering from all sorts of disorders as they are in fact basically ill-trained to face the totally unpredictable scenario that exists in Iraq today!

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder would be the least of his problems. Imagine hitting a saloon during a 48 hour pass, drinking all that beer and having nothing to pee with?! Plus, how many times in Saigon does he hear, "Oh, big American GI, me love you long ti...oh, so sorry! You just like Barbi down there!"

By spending all the money they waste on absolute self indulging, personal perks and support the medical necessities of our soldiers. PTSD is nothing new, take a look at all of the Viet Nam veterans who were and still neglected. It's disgusting. My husband is a Viet Nam veteran and he wouldn't go to the VA hospital for anything. Their band aid prescriptions are neglectful and funding just isn't there, particularly for emotional and psychological disorders.

By increasing funding for the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Just ignore them and pretend that we lost all their files so there's no proof of them serving for us when they show up at the VA hospital. That's what we did with the Vietnam vets.
Our government's not big on treating people. Sure we'll promise them the world when they sign up to die for our oil, but after that, those suckers are all on their own.

First of all - by having people like you stop asking politically motivated 'questions.'
Second - by leaving your political opinions behind.
Third - by people like yourself and the people with political opinions about us and the war, shut up

The best thing they could do is bring them home instead of sending them to die in another country's civil war.
