It's unfortunately just another side-effect that politicians don't consider when sending young boys off to war for their own selfish needs.

And in addition to the things that you experience when you are over there, you come back and a lot of people are treating you like a hero and a lot of people are saying that the war that you were fighting was a huge mistake. How are you supposed to go see about help in that sort of polarized environment? I'm sure that there are councelling programs for veterans and I imagine that those programs have prevented a large number of suicides, but there are probably a lot more that feel that they aren't supposed to be talking about the issues that they're going through on a personal level.
