It has been known by many names. During the Civil War, it was called “Soldiers Heart”. During World War II they called it Shell Shock. It has also been called Combat Fatigue. The current label is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PSTD. In the past, it was down played. Sufferers were told to man up. They were medicated, but instead of healing the medication turned them into zombies and created more emotional issues, which frequently had tragic results. Many have tried talk therapy. Results were limited. Most military personnel thought that only one who had lived through the experience could possibly understand the emotional and physically toil of war. Buddy therapy is an effective, but it is also limited by the number of veterans available and willing to participate. No matter how it has been labeled, the emotional and physical ramification have caused have had tragic consequences in some veterans lives. It has cost them jobs, marriages, their freedom...even their lives. The shootings at Ford Hood are prime examples of how the over loaded system is failing our veterans.
