Kind of a follow up to my Friday post.

The problem is that the Army can't afford to diagnose Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, since PTSD patients can't return to combat. So they diagnose other, less serious disorders and treat them with pills. Not only do the pills come with suicide warnings, but they're "treating" a problem these troops don't have.

So there's a double-whammy; troops with PTSD aren't being treated for PTSD, but other disorders, and the antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications are psychotropic drugs that come with risk of suicidal thoughts.

We are, quite literally, killing our troops by pretending to treat disorders they don't actually have -- while not treating the disorder they do.
