OK Neo-Cons, Step up and support the troops!

Effort Builds to Help 'Forgotten' Troops with PTSD

…veterans advocates say that even if the military and the Department of Veterans Affairs became models for helping troops with mental health problems, it wouldn't help a large category of vets who are already wounded and forgotten. These soldiers and Marines came back from combat, couldn't get adequate help, "flipped out" and misbehaved in some way — and as a result, were kicked out of the military without all the financial and medical benefits that veterans usually receive.

"I think it's an outrage that we have not taken proper care of them," said Sen. Christopher "Kit" Bond (R-MO), one of the most influential voices on veterans' affairs. "Too many of these people have been kicked out because of the results of the stress they've been under."

This Must Read(listen) report from NPR’s  Daniel Zwerdling is outstanding, it will move you. It’s time for the war supporters to step up and truly support the troops!! Congrats and thank you to Kit Bond for leading the charge on the republican side of the isle.
