The problem is not with the soldiers. As Gracie put it, many try to explain something is wrong but no one hears them. As Sky put it, the system is not prepared to deal with the massive amounts people with PTSD.

I have a dear family member who is on his third tour of Iraq. He goes where the reporters cannot. He was supposed to come home this month. Now he has no idea when he'll be allowed to leave. Although he is very careful to tell us he is "just fine" when he calls, he can't possibly be fine with the things he has done and seen on those tours. I pray that when he does arrive back in the states that he seeks counseling.
