4. I pondered this article and objections such as you raised...
for about two weeks before firmly deciding where I stood and committing 'pen to paper'. The one thing I would say in response to the very good points you raised is that different people 'break' differently. We already know that 17% of Iraq war vets who have returned home have been diagnosed with PTSD and than number is expected to rise since it takes a while for the disease to manifest itself and for the diagnoses to be made.
Some troops are committing suicide. Suicide rates among the troops are climbing alarmingly. Like I said, different GIs are breaking in different ways, but breaking they are.
