Culture Change: Caring for Vets
President Obama yesterday spoke with Veterans in Arizona. He told them that traumatic brain injury and PTSD are the new wounds of war. Those veterans in Vietnam and other wars who came home only to have depression, alcohol abuse, job loss, and the other "dominoes" that fall for veterans can be substantially dealt with if treatment is received early enough for veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq. The government, according to the President, is creating a culture of caring for veterans.
An excellent piece on PTSD in the military and what is being done to address it can be seen by clicking here.
