U.S. SOLDIERS FORCED TO GO AWOL TO GET PTSD CARE

Sad story of how returning vets have to go AWOL to get help for PTSD

By Dahr Jamail
http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=49646

MARFA, Texas, Dec 11 (IPS) - With a military health care system over-stretched by two ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, more soldiers are deciding to go absent without leave (AWOL) in order to find treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Eric Jasinski enlisted in the military in 2005, and deployed to Iraq in October 2006 as an intelligence analyst with the U.S. Army. He collected intelligence in order to put together strike packets - where air strikes would take place.

Upon his return to the U.S. after his tour, Jasinski was suffering from severe PTSD from what he did and saw in Iraq, remorse and guilt for the work he did that he knows contributed to the loss of life in Iraq.

"What I saw and what I did in Iraq caused my PTSD," Jasinski, 23-years-old, told IPS during a phone interview, "Also, I went through a divorce - she left right before I deployed - and my grandmother passed away when I was over there, so it was all super rough on me."

In addition, he lost a friend in Iraq, and another of his friends lost his leg due to a roadside bomb attack.

BREAKING NEWS: BOMB-RIGGED CARS KILL 62 INJURE OVER 100 IN BAGHDAD

Bomb-rigged cars kill dozens in Baghdad


Explosions hit busy market, government building, other sites in Iraqi capital


BREAKING NEWS

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34322986/ns/world_news-mideastn_africa/


BAGHDAD - At least 62 people were killed and more than 100 wounded when four or more large car bombs shook Baghdad on Tuesday, the latest high-profile blasts apparently aimed at sensitive Iraqi government buildings, police said.


The explosions rattled buildings across the capital, and undermined a fragile sense of security ahead of an auction of oilfield contracts this weekend, when executives from top oil firms will fly into town, and before an election next year.


Three people died and five were wounded in a first blast in a southern Baghdad suburb, police said.


Others were killed and wounded in at least three successive explosions in the city center half an hour later, police said.


According to Iraqiya television, the explosions occurred at a market in central Baghdad, near the Labor Ministry in northeastern Baghdad and another site in the center of the city.

OBAMA WILL INCREASE DRONE ATTACKS ON PAKISTAN

A new report leaked from the White House claims President Obama is going to increase the unmanned DRONE aircraft attacks on PAKISTAN.

The reason for increasing the attacks is because Al Qaeda and Taliban militants are fleeing from Afghanistan and crossing the border into Pakistan.

FANTASTIC VIDEO OF US TROOPS CAUGHT IN BATTLE WITH TALIBAN MILITANTS IN AFGHANISTAN

Day after day our troops in Afghanistan face fighting the Taliban militants. In this AP video you are a witness to what our troops are going through on a daily basis.

The goal is to kill as many Taliban militants as possible, but nobody has yet to explain what "winning" means in Afghanistan.

When you "win" in a war you sit down at a table and the enemy signs an unconditional surrender, but in Afghanistan there is not just one enemy but scores of tribes and it would be impossible to declare victory in Afghanistan unless our military were to kill every single Taliban militant.

The crisis is getting worse and the U.S. military cannot handle the problem.

There is also a Swine Flu (H1N1) epidemic throughout Afghanistan.

The refugee camps are crowded and with winter approaching it is feared many of the 350,000 Afghans will not be able to make it.

RIVETING VIDEO: WHY SOLDIERS NEVER TALK ABOUT WHAT WAR IS LIKE

Those who have never fought in a war often wonder why returning GIs never talk about what they witnessed when they were in combat. This riveting video is narrated by a former Iraqi who grew up in Iraq and then moved to the United States and then found himself in the Army and back in Iraq fighting in the Iraq War.

His account is a beautiful tribute to our troops and should be seen by everyone so they can have a better understanding of what our troops are going through in Afghanistan and Iraq and why when they return home---if they return home alive---they never talk about the war.
