It's disturbing, but important for us to know. There is also a new research collection about veteran health on IssueLab's website-- http://www.issuelab.org/closeup It covers things like why Iraq and Afghanistan vets are experiencing homelessness, PTSD, and traumatic brain injury at rates higher than past vets; estimates of the numbers going without treatment; policy suggestions, etc. All the research is from nonprofit and University researchers.

Guess what, I have had both for nearly a month and am damn sick from the treatment. I do not have to commit suicide when they damn near kill you with the treatment.
