Smith, a 1945 war correspondent reporting from the frontlines about emotional battle fatigue that many soldiers were experiencing, stated " ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO OBVIOUS PHYSICAL WOUNDS COMBAT FATIGUE IS THE MOST AWFUL FEATURE OF WAR". In relation to combat stress; Combat trauma have more of a debilitating effect on combat soldiers than physical injuries and wounds. Injuries and wounds heals and veterans move on with their lives. Not so with PTSD. Kindly visit our web site..."www.vetsbacktowarzone.org". During the Civil War combat stress was referred to as Soldier's Heart, WWI as Shell Shocked, WWII Combat Fatigue, the Vietnam War designated the problem as Post Trauma Stress Disorder (PTSD). Presently and for the forseeable future PTSD will represent one of the most debilitating situation veterans from past wars and veterans returning from the Middle Eastern wars will have to contend with. Returning veterans to the war zone has proven to be an invaluable therapeutic toole that benefits veterans who has had the opportunity of making such trips to their place of battle where the trauma was initiated and by linking the trip to the newly introduced WARRIORS MIND TRAINING program a most effective outcome is expected.

PTSD can not be a recruitment problem, because how can you test for it? As far as training is concern, you can make it as realistic as possible but in the end there is no substitute for War.

I would advise addressing that side- too many peeps getting to the front line when they haven't been put through their paces properly beforehand or don't have the inner toughness to cope. War is tough and there ain't two ways about that and commanding officers should be held to account if they're putting the wrong guys/gals out on tours of duty.
