PTSD

The veterans suffering from PTSD deserve the best treatment available.

The troops in Iraq need to come home now. Every soldier affected with PTSD should pay George Bush a little visit down in Crawford.

AP: Wartime PTSD cases jumped roughly 50 pct. in 2007
The number of troops with new cases of post-traumatic stress disorder jumped by roughly 50 percent in 2007 amid the military buildup in Iraq and increased violence there and in Afghanistan.

Records show roughly 40,000 troops have been diagnosed with the illness, also known as PTSD, since 2003. Officials believe that many more are likely keeping their illness a secret.
