Post War Help

The Editorial “Post-war help for families” talks about post partum depression of soldiers when they return from war and finding help for them. Too many of them return home only to live their very own nightmare. These veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan put up with psychological scars the eye won't see, but their wounds often reach deep into their core with overwhelming consequences. The soldiers coming home no matter from war, training or other experiences they may encounter should be required to go under evaluation. The government should keep record of these soldiers and as times and years pass by they should do evaluations and get them in their to see how they doing emotional and mental in their daily lives, and always offer a ear when they want to talk . For example, my father is a Vietnam veteran and he never received any counseling after the war, he was in some serious fighting over there and he never talked about. Now after all these years he is actually talking to a counselor and trying to get thru it. They thing he said that made him have flashbacks or memories was when the first reports of the Iraq war when he heard all the gun fire and the bombs going off , he said that he froze and had flashbacks. So, know when he able to talk about a least there are more advance in therapy to treat these war soldiers. So if the government is able to catch and treat these soldiers right after they come home and at home maybe we can have less families struggling to deal with post partum
