One I started reading this piece I immediately starting thinking about all the vets from Vietnam who are still now getting the help they need - and now there is another round of vets from Iraq who aren't getting the care they need. Also the families - both of the vets and also soldiers still in Afghanistan and Iraq. And this time there will (I think) be a lot more women directly affected by by PTSD ... and they are usually the caretakers of children. I wish the cost of war was looked at - in human terms for here and where the active war zone is! ~ Diane Clancy www.dianeclancy.com/blog This certainly sounds like a compelling movie!
