review 1: A must read for the American public and military leaders of all ranks. My first reaction was...my God what struggles these young men and women are going through and thank God for the many caregivers and Family reaching out.

Really appalling the amount of drugs that are given to the guys but heartening, a bit, to know how many people care and try to rehabilitate them. At the end I felt like I had PTS too. less
