    Default Excellent post all..

    Particularly from Brian Hanley. Here's some additional quantitative data that better decribes it...

    I'm going to double-post this image b/c it's important. SPECT scans are allowing us to understand the impact a bit more...

    Here's the latest research. I've seen better images, but this is the best that I could find on google.

    This is a disturbing development.

    Distressed soldiers treated at combat site

    Increasingly, the Army is trying to treat traumatized soldiers “in theater” — where they’re stationed. The idea is that soldiers will heal best if kept with those who understand what they’ve been through, rather than being dumped into a treatment center back in the States where they’ll be surrounded by unfamiliar people and untethered from their work and routine.
    ...and maybe this is because they are not sure of the diagnosis and don't want to provide soldiers with an easy out and a reason to stay at home?
