There is a movement out there to eliminate the disorder descriptor. The department of Veterans Affairs estimates that only between 11 to 20 of the veterans experienced ptsd even when considering the 20 . This is a very Broad Spectrum and its true the majority of the veterans do not experience ptsd but many think that its much higher. If somebody pops a microphone right now or spell a glass of water and it made a loud noise, what would happen to me . I had a hyper startle reflex. Does it impact my ability to contribute to my community . Thats the other issue. Ive been bitten by a large German Shepherd and every time i pass a German Shepherd, my leg hurts.

The four year College Completion rates are higher among the nonveterans. 33 complete college and earn
Isil. It just looted its historical sites. So all of that under consideration, of course our priority, and i said this yesterday, is defeating and destroying daesh. That remains our priority. And yet we also recognize that replacing one or replacing their by their barbaric role with assads journey is not tyranny is not a great trade off of a great solution. The Syrian People should not have to decide between isil and assad, and thats again what i was trying to convey yesterday which speaks to the fact that thats why we need to advance of the u. S. Led negotiation. We need to establish a ceasefire. We need to end of the civil war, get a Transitional Government into place, and then we can talk about cooperation against daesh. It just seems a little strange because two of the things weve heard over the last many months was, one, that assad wasnt fighting daesh proper and that he was mainly fighting the modern Syrian Opposition and thats true. And that carried over to what the russians wer
For a woman to be at the head of the most powerful country in the world, when one of our key allies doesnt allow women to drive, and our most significant enemy at this time, isis, is literally executing women and girls simply for being women and girls, i think this sends a powerful message from the bully pulpit about what america stands for.

They are returning to tables that had empty chairs around them throughout the war and now will be permanently empty, because many thousands of those men will not return back to their families. They are dealing with scenes like this, largescale property destruction, destroyed by battlefield engagements or by the destruction of military installations. The march to the sea, this particular image of richmond being destroyed as the union army marched in in a grand victorious manner. The smoldering ruins, if you will, left all across the south. We talked a little bit before about the crisis in faith that southern veterans had, that they had prayed to god in many ways for that speedy and big victory and now are returning home as defeated men, as losers, if you will. There are many ways sort of embodying if you will rem, sitting in the corner losing their religion because god had turned away from them. Some came home completely disillusioned, angry, frustrated.
