Please see my post on www.prisondemocracy.com regarding what I think is a great shame: our government does not seem to care about veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) who have a difficult time adjusting back to civilian life.
My point is not that veterans with PTSD who break the law should get a free pass, just that if you break the law because you suffering from PTSD from combat, you should not be treated like an ordinary criminal. And just maybe, the government ought to give you some consideration for the fact you volunteered for duty and the government sent you into a combat zone without the necessary resources to fully integrate back into civilian life.
