An Organisation called the National Center for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)has developed a War Clinique for the Iraqui War Veterans.

It's sad that the Nation has come to this...Leading our troops into situations uncalled for..Now they are having Traumatic Stress Disorders...ALREADY.

I Hope this doesn't turn into the next Vietnam..

BeenThere,
I watched 60 minutes last night---a segment about the soldiers who are not 'counted' or listed as casualites---friendly fire, accidents, nervous breakdowns, illnesses,all all other manner of disasters, all of which occurred during their service to the country-there are roughly 25,000 of them...not even acknowledged, no accurate count....US government is correct thinking that if they count them, there will be less support for the war... they were heartbreaking and heartbroken that their own government won't acknowledge them... and doesn't even consider them casualties of war...

Jennifer,
Its the equivalent of abondaning a child...

Because of the events happening I am a little disgusted as to where this country is heading..I can smell a draft..
The fact that I am 18 brings about my "chance" of being drafted..(I signed up to defend for a purpose worthy, not attacking others over meaningless bullshit)
If/when I do get drafted, I'd like to thank you all, and Richard and his family, especially for providing me with joy and happiness throughout my life.
Hopefully my enrollment in college will keep me here a little longer.
(Better believe I'm bringin' my Pryor CDs with my Player going overseas. Comedy for the troops!)

We pray tht you don't get drafted and if you do---there's always Canada unless they won't let you in cause too many AMericans are knocking on their door cause of King George...fuck...

astonamous,

That helps. But, can you explain why my cousin, only 19 is over in Iraq? I don't even understand the situation..
He was never in the military/armed forces before..
He was in College..
And he's below the age you said they would start at for drafting in '05.
Plus, he send me letters about how he hates it, and how he dispises Bush for forcing him over to Iraq, basically, to die.

To Jennifer,
I appreciate the kind words.

astonamous,
Our friend COnnie Nelson is sent to Landstuhl, Germany by the USO every year, to take autographed pics to the wounded men and women for Christmas, we asked some friends and many came through:

Whoopie
Robin WIlliams
Dave Chappelle
George Carlin
George Lopez
Monique
...........................these people are the real deal-generous and thoughtful...we thank them ...and thank COnnie for her kind gesture...

astonamous,
You silly!

astonamous,
Did you say 20 is the age they start at? I better pack for boot camp.
