  • Freedom4 - you bet people are born with mental health problems, they are as heredetary as diabetes, far-sightedness, blood type, and hair color. It's a false premise that you advance when you say that military persons with mental health problems are like overly beaten dogs.

  • It's that blind deference to the shrinks that keeps them in business. I've done enough work with veterans to say that most PTSD diagnoses are complete b.s. I don't need a Ph.D. to make that assessment, there's enough plain evidence for lay folks and 99 percenters to see.

  • I say give veterans all the care they need, just stop blaming military service for every mental illness or crime committed by veterans. Also, lets distinquish between VA medical care and the 45 billion VA pays out in compensation and pension disability payments every year.

  • For thousands of years, sodomy was a crime. Now, apparently, it's a right. Why can't we accept gays for who they are but continue to suppress their sexual activity? Read about the current rise in the spread of HIV in France and the fact that 1 in 5 sexually active gay men in U.S.

  • No, there is simply too much pressure on recruiters these days. Watch some documentaries on the subject. If you have a four limbs and a heartbeat, they will find a way to get you in. This is a problem in and of itself, and warrants it's own article by this journalist.
