PTSD - Redeployed

I'm off to work, but had caught the following on CBS News Early Broadcast, this morning.

Troops With Stress Disorders Fit For Duty?

Some Soldiers With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Are Being Re-Deployed To Iraq

Oct. 19, 2006

"To put someone in that situation and say 'face your fears' is contrary to all current medical and scientific knowledge about PTSD."


(CBS) Army Staff Sgt. Bryce Syverson spent 15 months in Iraq before he was diagnosed by military doctors with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and sent to the psychiatric unit at Walter Reed Medical Center, CBS News correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi reports.

"It ended up they just took his weapon away from him and said he was non-deployable and couldn’t have a weapon," says his father, Larry Syverson. "He was on suicide watch in a lockdown."

That was last August. This August, he was deployed to Ramadi, in the heart of the Sunni triangle — and he had a weapon.

We are creating our own 'Human' WMD's as these Troops without Proper Treatment, after Multiple Tours, and Already Diagnosed with PTSD are sent back into Theater! They will, and are, ticking timebombs, through No Fault Of Their Own, to Explode on those around them!!

I had a few friends who after returning from 'Nam couldn't handle living, once again, in a semi stable society. So they volunteered to return to the War Theater, Where They Were Killed!! As well as others who turned to Drugs and Alcohol, and there are others who turned to crime or committed Violent Acts when their Demons Took Over!!

We here the reports, than flip it out of mind, while we Should Be Studying this, because it not only happens to Military Personal and Civilians in War Theaters, it can happen to Anyone who goes through Tramatic Experiances in life that shake their perceived foundations!
