Part 1: The things they carry: Mental health disorders among returning troops

The same administration that many claim sent US troops without sufficient intelligence, planning, numbers , or armor is equally unprepared to deal with the war's psychic toll on service members, RAW STORY has learned.

A foamer commander-in-chief describes today's overextended, under- equipped military as nearing the "Breaking Point"

In Afghanistan, insurgent attacks and bombings are surging this year, as the Tali ban rapidly regains power and popularity.

In Iraq, where US troops are, by the administration's own admission, struggling unsuccessfully with an increasingly bloody insurgency, US and civilian casualties are rising by the day. Last week the Associated Press reported that this month is on track to be the deadliest one of the war yet. It is already the deadliest since November 2004 when 92 American Marines were killed and another 500 wounded over the course of Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah.
