Great article. There is also some new info about the increased incidence and reporting of PTSD and concussion. Hope the sun is starting to shine a little for you, Liz.

The New York Times article was sick in the way it vilified veterans. Most violent crimes are committed by people who are not labeled as having ptsd and have no history of military service. This reminds me of the stories of those violent mentally ill. Where are the stories of the vast majority of murderers who have no label of mental illness? And as I've been saying, people with traumatic brain injuries, like lots of the Gulf War II veterans, should not be given psych drugs, they will exacerbate problems that can be cured with love and time.

It is terrible that most murders are committed by family members including spouses regardless of a history of psych label or military service. Violence against women is also a horrible social ill. Describing our veterans, already victimized and marginalized, as monsters is tantamount to treason.
