Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

salem-news is the best. nobody prints this stuff, and it is encouraging to see an Oregon based media telling the truth. Very rare these days. Add depleted uranium into the article. I am as enraged as you are. Do not drink the kool-aid that obama will change this. His first task was to send troops to Afghanistan, bomb Pakistan, gay rights and abortions. Not debating these things on this post, just wondering why the veterans come second/third/fourth/nothing to the issues. gosh darn..I am mad too. The ones that actually risk/and sometimes lose their lives for this "freedom" so often talked about are left in the cold. This is an outrage. While soldiers are in another country fighting for our freedoms, our elected officials are taking them away. No, I will not be silent to the rape. Instead of helping the veterans, obama continues the wars that cant be won, and takes America down as he does it. McCain would have done the same thing, because we are owned by the khazars (zionist regime, look it up) Do NOT let them take our firearms veterans! Thanks to the Marines who helped the navy guys such as myself. When in boot camp, the Marines boot camp was right next door..I remember thinking, dang, glad I didnt join the marines! :-)

Yes this is a national outrage . We have ground up americas finest in an ill conceived and poorly managed war , and than prohibit them from treatment . Time and time again this has happened from Viet nam to this day , and according to the Doctor from ww2 . It seems america wants to hide the truth about war and its real cost . Its all promises promises when you join than they forget you when you need them . America treats its vets like there tissue paper throwing them away when their no longer needed . It is Americas RESPONSIBILITY to take care of those who put their life's and their future on line to serve . Its does not matter if you supported or opposed this latest military action , we the people owe those who served us . Write your local representatives about this disgrace .

Another EXCELLENT article Dr. Leveque and thank you for your efforts to help all of us veterans.We all would welcome your ideas about how to end the nightmare and disgrace that exists with the ignorance of the Government in helping not just ptsd vets but ALL vets who served this country.Picketing and PROTESTING are no longer the answer.Calling our elected officials won't do it either. We need ACTION and we need it NOW.Not after more vets die from suicide or freezing to death on the streets like the Major did last week in Eugene did.HOW Dr. ? WE need to end the debate NOW and help those of us who need the HELP NOW.Save Wall Street,Save big business,Save this,Save that.HOW DO WE GET THEM TO SAVE VETERANS NOW ? We would welcome your thoughts ASAP.The saddest part of our vets is we turn our anger inwards,not outward.And that creates vets ending up dying way before their time.We all survived to make it back to ''THE WORLD''we called it. Only to end up not enjoying being back in it. We salute you Dr. from near and far,and would follow if you would decide that leading all of us to the White House steps if that is what it would take.ACTIONS..speak louder than words Doc..what is the action we need ? Action that has gotten us nothing to this point. I close with respect and the quote,IT IS NEVER WHAT OTHERS SAY OR THING ABOUT YOU..IT IS ONLY WHAT YOU DO THAT COUNTS.
