EXCLUSIVE: U.S. ARMY MEDIC TALKS ABOUT HIS OWN BATTLE WITH PTSD
Pfc Jonathan Norrell, a U.S. Army medic, tells Kimberly Dozier of CBS News about the struggles he has had trying to get help for his own PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and how our military mistreated him.
This is another gripping account of how our soldiers are coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan with PTSD and finding the U.S. military is not equipped to handle their mental health issues.
It is stories like this which the media should be reporting about instead of the silly and insignificant accounts of how Sarah Palin used the palm of her hand to write down crib notes when she was interviewed by a Tea Party officer even after she had been given the questions he was going to ask before the interview.

IS THIS HOW THE ARMY TREATS SOLDIERS WITH PTSD? (MUST SEE VIDEO)
Sgt. James Doyle appears before a Senate Committee looking into abuses of veterans at Walter Reed Medical Center and other military hospitals after returning from Iraq with severe injuries and suffering from PTSD.
Doyle's story is heart-breaking. He holds nothing back and tells the lawmakers how he was treated like crap by the Army doctors.
This is the kind of story that should be on every news station in the country instead of the crap we see on a daily basis on FOX NEWS (they are the worst), MSNBC and CNN.

NEWS ALERT: SOLDIERS ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE AT AN ALARMING RATE
The U.S. military and our government have a nasty habit of covering up the number of suicides that are taking place with military personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
In this video, some of the statistics are revealed. It will leave you aghast.
This is just another example of how our mainstream media in cohorts with the Department of Defense are covering up the number of veterans of both wars who commit suicide from PTSD and related causes.

IRAQ WAR RESTROSPECTIVE: WAS IT WORTH $400,000,000,000?
This mind-blowing video looks at the Iraq War and what it cost in human lives and money.
At the point this video was produced, we had lost 3,900 troops with another 25,000 severely wounded.
More than 100,000 Iraqi people had been killed.
The cost was a whopping $400,000,000,000 AND COUNTING.
And for what? What did we accomplish?
NOTHING.

ONE US SOLDIER IS WOUNDED IN THIS BRUTAL FIREFIGHT IN AFGHANISTAN (WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE)
The American public doesn't have a clue what is going on with our troops in Afghanistan because the mainstream media has DECLARED a blackout on all war coverage. Some of the media even use the excuse it is too expensive to send reporters and photographers to Afghanistan.
This has NEVER happened before in the history of the United States when we are at war. News organizations always sent reporters and photographers into the war zones in the war against HITLER and the Nazis and in the Pacific against the Japanese.
If today's media were around back during World War II, we never would have had seen the flag raising on Iwo Jima which later became a national monument in Washington DC.
This video should be the lead news story on TV. They can bleep out the strong language, but they should show the American people what our troops are going through in Afghanistan.
