Three new studies suggest that a sizable percentage of American soldiers suffer from some type of mental health issue, at rates higher than those seen in the general population.
"Some of the differences in disorder rates are truly remarkable," Ronald Kessler, a professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School and senior author of one of the studies, said in a Harvard news release. "The rate of major depression is five times as high among soldiers as civilians, intermittent explosive disorder six times as high, and post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD] nearly 15 times as high."
Two of the three studies relied on data from the STARRS survey, a major research effort involving almost 5,500 soldiers. The survey is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Army and the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).

After the government takes in out loyal patriots and trains them, and then uses them as their pawns in their unwarranted invasions of other countries for financial gain, it throws them back and they all get "diagnosed" with a condition that calls for them to be disarmed.
That's so when the SHTF, there will be less "resistance".
That's okay, we know better and will arm them when necessary!
Also among mayors.
Having to fight in a stupid war for the NWO, not even being wanted there by the occupied country, and having BHO as commander-in-chief would depress the most sane among us. And then add getting maimed by an IED. Get our young men (and ladies) out of Afghanistan NOW!
