Or also known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder..

I read in the paper this week of a Canadian soldier who had been injured and brought home and would never be able to actually go over seas again, that he could be still in the army but in a desk job so in other words, useless. (said that in the paper)

His wife has blackened eyes and bruises all over her body from her husband, he beats her in his sleep without knowing it. He's even strangled her in his sleep. He's killing the enemy in his dreams and his wife is taking the hits.

The night he came home injured, his underage daughter got so drunk she had to be rushed to the hospital for alcohol poisoning.


Seven brides serve me seven sins
Seven seas writhe for me
From Orient gates to R'lyeh
Abydos to Thessaly
And Sirens sing from stern
But now I cease to play
For I yearn to return
To woodland ferns
Where Herne and his wild huntress lay
------------
Damon Salvatore: What's so special about this Bella girl? Edward's so wipped.
Caroline Forbes: You have to read the first book first, otherwise it won't make sense.
Damon Salvatore: Uh, I miss Anne Rice, she was so on it.
Caroline Forbes: Hey, how come you don't sparkle?
Damon Salvatore: Because I live in the real world where vampires burn in the sun.
Caroline Forbes: Yeah, but you go in the sun.
Damon Salvatore: I have a ring, it protects me. It's complicated."

PTSD is serious business. I have it (not from war, but it's still rough).

The sad thing is that the US has soldiers coming back in the exact same mental state and are still shipping them back over for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, even 6th or 7th tours without giving them proper counseling to deal with it.

I applaud Canada for keeping their soldiers home so they don't get worse however, I hope they actually treat them and help them instead of brushing it under the rug like our government does.

I wish I could say that the government does but you know how the goverment works. They give you basic help and then you're on your own.

The US isn't even providing basic help. And now soldiers are applying for disability and being denied through the VA for supposedly faking it.
