Insufficient mental health service for Iraq war veterans

Post a Problem
Soldiers, many of whom did not think they would ever see active duty, come back from Iraq and cannot relate to their families, have nightmares, are unable to work, and report they just aren't the same person they were before the war. Yet the mental health services are limited. Often if they ask for help they are seen as weak, or an officer will accuse them of making up their complaint just to get time off. This is a deplorable way to treat vets. How can the US provide services these men and women deserve so they can regain the lives they had before they were deployed?
