PTSD

 

There are reportedly 100,000 veterans in the U.S. with 'bad paper', or dishonorable discharges. Many of these people, trained to be professional killers, have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Many are on our streets, homeless and dysfunctional. These individuals do not qualify for Veterans' Administration benefits for health care or shelter. This is a contribution of the military to society. Hollow patriotism cannot excuse this atrocity.
