that they know of, or are admitting...
THE ASKEWED NEWS BELOW is not of my making.. just the deconstruction at the bottom...
30% of Troops Mentally Stressed After Iraq
From Times Wire Reports
Thirty percent of U.S. troops deployed to Iraq have developed stress-related mental health problems three to four months after coming home, the Army's surgeon general said.
The problems include anxiety, depression, nightmares, anger and an inability to concentrate, Lt. Gen. Kevin Kiley and other military medical officials said.
A smaller number of troops were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, a serious mental illness.
Only 3% to 5% were diagnosed with a significant mental health issue immediately after leaving the war theater, said Col. Elspeth Ritchie, a psychiatrist.
ALLOW ME TO ADD TO THIS MANIPULATIVE LITTLE WORD PILE BY DECONSTRUCTING OUT A BIT OF TRUTH....
ONLY!!!!! ONLY!!!!! This is another criminal example of how this word can be used to shape the information that comes afterward. Only is meant to make 3 to 5 percent of our soldiers meaningless.
THREE OUT OF ONE HUNDRED SOLDIERS GO MAD!!!!!
Why did this articles title just say, 'Mentally Stressed,' rather than get to the more sensational, and tragic news... that 3-5 are really, really, loosing it.
IMAGINE A ROLLER COASTER THAT DID THIS... EVERY 33 rd PERSON WOULD GO MAD. In the private sector, if a job drove this many people to utter despire, it would be
considered criminal.
When I was young I wanted to live in a world without war.
Now I want to live in world that has no need of war.
