Here is the link from last nights post

I got in touch with my brother vet Larry Scott at http://www.vawatchdog.org

DOD will not let out how many troops they sent back to Iraq with PTSD an other mental problems. But here is some numbers that give us an idea. 1/3 of the returning troops have PTSD. In a year the number of claims have jumped from 2567 in 2005 to 9,876 in 2006. The Hartford Currier had a report that DOD was sending at least 4000 troops back to Iraq with PTSD on meds.DOD has a report that will be given to the House Committee next year saying they no longer can keep up with troops with mental problems. Thats the UpDate keep you in the loop when I get facts.
