Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, also known as PSTD, is a ailment affecting many people in the world. This is a common disorder affecting United States veterans, who have to fight to receive benefits, such as retirement and disability, after serving their country. There are some existing organizations, such as Bart Stichman's National Veterans Legal Services program, that are taking legal action to see to it that these respectable veterans are being cared for in ways that will improve their quality of life.
I have an immense respect for the men and women who risk their lives to protect our country and feel that they should be allowed more resources to recover from their difficult careers and the resulting trauma they may experience. Let's hope that such efforts, much like the event covered in the article, are able to win those benefits successfully.
