My friend Tom sent this to me:
This is a video from the LA Times "the Marlboro Marine" that tells a bit of the story of one Marine from Kentuky's struggle with PTSD from an embeded reporter who knew him in Falluja and has tried to help him in the U.S. I found it poingiant and illuminating and I think that many vets and friends and families of vets will recognize the situation.

It leaves me thinking that we who have opposed the war since before it started are the ones who really supported our troops. We did not want to see friends and family members chumped, pimped and punked by moraly depraved, mentaly ill,profiteering, chicken hawks and judas goats. I am sorry that we were not able to mount enough of a resistance to keep them all safe at home with their friends and loved ones.
