By haystack

THIS article from CBS, "The Military's Showdown Over PTSD" is important. It serves to inform us about a major problem our Veterans are having to contend with, and opens our eyes ever-so-slightly to the hard reality of the ineptitude on the part of our Military machine AND Congress to adequately attend to the real needs of Veterans and their families as the politicization of the war rages on unabated. Written by Kimberly Dozier, a compelling case is made about the problems Soldiers bring home with them after their deployments to (in this case Iraq and Afghanistan) fight a war in defense of America. In the piece, Ms. Dozier offers a link to another CBS article that discusses a Rand study indicating that "one in five Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans suffer from PTSD or major depression." This is a horrible statistic.

What especially caught my eye, however, was the name Kimberly Dozier.
