Read "The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict" by Linda Bilmes and Joseph Stiglitz to get a sense of what medical cost to our soldiers will be during and after this Bush Administration war.

Guess, not only Vet's who have PTSD, but anyone who have PTSD would stand the same chance of it happening to them.......... nice article to save for anyone who has PTSD involved in a coming lawsuit.

Everyone knows this who is a veteran, knows veterans, and has veterans in their family. There is no greater predictor for poor health later in life than having been a veteran. Yet there will be endless veterans because there is just too much money in endless war.
