Well, all I can say is what someone who went thru the service told me. Why would he lie, I have no agenda, not someone who can do anything or threaten. He had told me that the treatment was not very effective and that these issues cannot be irradicated. I dont see why he would lie to me. I never wore his shoes, what do I know?

I am sure that there are treatments and I am also sure that there is an overload, I wouldn't doubt that.

I was just a person who listened and was surprised at what I heard.

My understanding is that service men are warned about the consequenses of therapy and how it may effect them getting work etc. I have to tell you, it shocked me to hear it. Why would this person lie? If you are not in their situation and not privy to what they are told, ah, how do you know what they feel? Do you think that there is going to be some news on this? I had asked a question to someone here, I wanted to know what that person wanted, I even suggested he write it out and maybe tell us somewhere that we could all see it.

I do meet military people on occasion and I honestly have to say, I don't always hear very good things. And to be honest, I am embarrassed and find myself appologizing. I am not sure these people feel comfortable speaking the truth in public. Perhaps anything that may cause new young men from joining the service may not want to be made public.

I have no doubt there are things we are not privy to.

And to be honest some of them are afraid to get help. You know they do talk amongst themselves and talk about it. They are afraid.

These men come back very confused. And lets consider the fact that people who have PTSD often feel ashamed and confused.

I just really wonder, I would like to think that perhaps it should somehow be a type of manditory process involved with being in the service. IDK
