The details of being inside the war in the blood of a real soldier whether they are in vain and sick is still the same...

I still remember when i am sick and needs peace of mind and nobody gave me about that. A soldier is still a soldier... sleeping or not.

The duty and the blood of being a soldier is the same whether we are sick or not. If a soldier is a traitor and a soldier betray his own country and his people, the anxiety of an individual will be deeper but if a soldier have a clean heart and have high morality whether we are sick or not, the passion of being a soldier rose and all the evidences are gathered in just a single glimpse of the past to track who are those destructive people are that within in the battlefield.

Being a soldier that have medicine is a big advantage rather than to those who have not. And once a soldier experience trouble mind and being in danger, the agility and the strength of a true soldier rises to the higher level.

We did the challenge to find the roots of all. We seek for the truth of who are those people that set fire to have war. We also find resources and concrete evidences of who the real destructive people are.

Within this kind of challenge to the true identity of a soldier.... the higher the risk, the deeper the knowledge is and the lesser the enemies, the soldiers left them to those who are willing to fight and struggle too much to find them.

A challenge to the sleepless mind is also a challenge to find the roots of their true identity whether they betray their country and their people or whether they still remain the duty of being a soldier who will protect their country and their people.

The main source of having depression once they are inside the real war was being destroyed due to the natural instinct of a soldier to survived. The mere fact that the soldier have the agility and the secrecy of their own about their past experiences will lead them to find their enemies.

The greater the damaged in their mental health, the greater the challenge that you need to gave to them to awaken the real being that they have in fighting and protecting their country even their people.

What, no investment counsellors to provide peace of mind? Maybe the Chaplaincy ought to expand to include shrinks and investment counsellors. And OBTW, what about an atheist chaplain?

Old wisdom: "Why settle for the lesser of two evils?"

I've been in the WTB in GA after being wounded in March of last year and this war has been going on for how menny years now and the medical staff still insent ready???

I've been in the WTB after being wounded in March of last year and our Medical staff still isent ready, how meny years has our war been going on???
All they say is "well we just got caught with our paints down" or "we wasent ready for all this"

Let's be serious: no BS about how we "snacked on danger, and dined on death," in the old days, and never lost a wink of sleep! And no BS about how it is all some liberal (or conservative)plot! The stakes are just too high. You can't go to war on the cheap. You can't go to war without mobilizing the homefront.

If the war is worth fighting (and even if it isn't!) we owe the men and women fighting it, nothing less than full support: logistical, medical, and psychological. In country, and back at home. The warriors in the current war against terrorism are enduring stressors, familiar to veterans of all wars, and also unique to this one!

Let's start supporting them. If it takes sacrifice even including new taxes--let's just do it.

How tragic that we have an army which is dependent upon mind-numbing drugs and shrinks to hold the line!

I wonder if that criminal cult they call the "Church" of Scientology is going to try to get psychiatrists to stay away from helping soldiers.

I mean those guys have, like, billions of dollars from deceiving people into believing they're a religion that helps people with pseudoscience and they've got clout probably. And they hate psychiatry because the founder of Scientology, L Ron Hubbard, couldn't get his bullshit Dianetics book approved by their community.

Yeah, they'll probably ***** about this. Probably send Tom Cruise and his brainwashed lackeys to try to stop them.

It is my opinion that combat stress caused mental illness is predominantly the result of poor leadership that fails to define realistic goals.

Like Viet Nam the Armed Forces have been committed with improper and unrealistic goals.

Further, to serve, return home for a few months, and then be returned repeatedly to combat will break a normal humanbeing as surely as waterboarding.

IT SOULD BE RECONGNIZED THAT THE HIGH INCIDENCE OF MENTAL HEALTH, STRESS RELATED ISSUES, ARE THE DIRECT RESULT OF THE SITTING PRESIDENT IN THE OVAL OFFICE !

SO TRUE ! Unfortunately, as they relieve the stress and pain, drugs also limit intellect and physical ability. The failed leadership problem is thus compounded.

Confidence in honorable victory and a safe return to a welcoming home, is by far the most powerful guarantee of high morale and outstanding mental health.

I liked the headline on the face of it.. Maybe if we sent enough shrinks to the ME we wouldn't have to send soldiers at all.. Wonder if Dr. Phil would volunteer...

More Psychiatrists Needed on Warfronts

Do they shoot better, are they good mechanics, or can they cook? Support personnel belong to the rear.

Want is need is more social workers;
rehab councilors;
employment councilors;
Vet Centers;
Back at home and stateside VAMCs.
Not forgotten by the local Veterans Organizations.

Crisis counselling worked at Columbine, why not anywhere else?
