More than one in three soldiers and Marines who have served in Iraq later sought help for mental health problems, according to a comprehensive snapshot by Army experts of the psyches of men and women returning from the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places.
The accounts of more than 300,000 soldiers and Marines returning from several theaters paint an unusually detailed picture of the psychological impact of the various conflicts. Those returning from Iraq consistently reported more psychic distress than those returning from Afghanistan and other conflicts, such as those in Bosnia or Kosovo.
There's more if you can take it. Boy, I sure would hate to be one of the men or women who sent these soldiers to war for nothing, wouldn't you? You'd almost think the only way you could possibly live with yourself would be to blow out the back of your own skull with an M-16.
Just putting it out there, hoping the part of the Universe that's in charge of proportioning out Karma picks it up...
