There is no question that war is traumatic and can cause certian 'disorders' once the the individuals try to enter civilian life. However, I feel there is a lot more to the story than what this clearly indicates.
Take for example the demographic that recruiters are focused on and get to enlist. Generally poor neighborhoods, with people who probably didn't have a bright out look to begin with. So coupled with the stress of war and the life as an enlisted man/woman brings...I can see it being a factor. However, I strongly feel it's not an accurate representation of how the US deals with it's vets.
The U.S. is the most giving nation in the world. (
FACT) I'm still hunting on what percentage of benefits go to Vets, but point being, I feel something has to be broken before it breaks. I've known to many people in and out of the military in some form, who have seen stressful times, but came out stronger.
