NGO shot down 8/22/2002 outside Kandahar while trying to Build Schools and Clinics. Australian Pilot dies, British Security Coord takes 4-5 rounds AK-47, female Construction Engineer takes 4 AK-47. Military suplies veteran PTSD Medical Support, however, there are no PTSD Psychiatrist learned in War Fare tragedies to help those Non Government Organization employees who find themselves suffering from PTSD as a result from witnessing/surviving such horrible War Time attacks. I have suffered in silence, many nights wandering why I survived & others did not, wondering with all the pain I am suffering with would I have just been better off dead, wondering with the financial difficulties resulting in the fact I can no longer work in my chosen profession would my family have been better off had I just died out there that unforgettable day. Wonder if this news writer would be interested in interviewing a survivor suffering from PTSD from which there is no support. Knowing there are hundreds out there like me who's story never hits the news because we are not MILITARY casualties. We suffer non the less and with no 'War Hero' status, just the passing thought that at one time we thought we were going to help a struggling nation by the gift of our talents and hard work. I loved my work, I loved the Afghanistan people, they were so very dedicated to trying to rebuild their war torn nation for a brighter tomorrow for their children. They had the same desires and dreams for their chidren as we do, yes even for the girls. We were building schools for the girls as well who were being encouraged and escorted by their fathers to school. Wonder if anyone out there would be interested in a heart filled story like this one? The public has no idea what our young military women and men suffer through in their day to day attempt to bring safety and support change. That same public is clueless to the thousands of same men and women who put their lives on the line daily to bring on that change. We die by the hundreds, silently, unsong heores, with no support back home, no banners, no 'homes being bult for us because we have lost limbs', no ticker parade from hometown folks, no we just melt into non existance, many commiting suicide, most drowning themselves in a bottle. I chose to use my hands I hve left to write, to try to see if I can make anyone out there care enough to support us, to recognize us. That would be a big step. I know, many who read this will say 'hey, you went over there for the big money, so shut up about being hurt', those same who will say this would also think 'hey, you Military knew what you were gertting into when you joined up, so shut up about getting hurt'. Well, I hope and pray those who thinks this way never find themselves overrun by a hostile foreighn nation who slaugters their family and enslves them then destorys their infrastructure. Who will help us? Who will fight the fight? Who will rebuild? CrazyHorse

Our armed forces have done their job and are not supposed to be used for "nation building"... Those capitalist U.S. military trying to create " rescuer" status while the oil flows and their common people struggle., While others grow richer...

huckabee wants to rewrite the bill of rights to reflect the 10 commandments....guess we'll have our own version of sharia law...

SEMPER FI--BUDDY ! ---As a "FORMER MARINE" (and VIETNAM VETERAN) myself I can say with CONVICTION, that you are FULL OF IT !----------HOW DARE YOU DISHONOR and DISRESPECT the ARMY "AND" the "UNITED STATES MARINE CORP" ! !

Why is it that it's the army that has all these ptsd soldiers? Why is it that we never or rarely ever of marines with ptsd? Know why? Training! especially recon marine training. example, Marines were in Somolia before army rangers. Marines got the job done. Some time later rangers landid. Hollywood didn't make a movie about marines in somolia. No. They made a movie "blackhawkdown" about army rangers getting the're ass kicked. go figure.

When you've had it for 40 years or more it just becomes like a NORMAL part of your living. You RATIONALIZE it because it all happened in the service of your country and/ or something GOOD had to come out of it.------------ Nothing can make it go away but there are MANY WAYS of TRYING.

it always makes me sad that men---maybe more so than women, have some sort of thing about going off to war in a blaze of glory, coming back heros....you can not go to war and see what you see, and expect to ever be the same.....unless your charles manson or someone like that.....why after all these years are they not better prepared mentally, emotionally for what is about to happen TO them for the rest of their lives? war is not a vidio game......

People watch huckabee? now that would be a show many would like to see people who watch huckabee LOL!

I blame Bush for his war and what it has done to people. In Superior, Wisconsin two weeks ago, a returned vet from Iraq lost it and killed his pregnant wife (who was to deliver the next day, his thirteen-month-old daughter, his three dogs and himself. Another casualty of the Bush war. These people have real innocent blood on their hands.
