BD comment of the day: Suicide is killing more combat vets than Iraq is

It didn't take Jim
Gourley long to get back on the board with this powerful observation
about August:
"This was the first month that there were no American combat deaths in
Iraq. So we can say with certainty that more veterans of that war died as a
result of PTSD/depression at home than they did of direct enemy action in
country."

Meanwhile, here is another
vote for marijuana as a PTSD palliative. I wonder if this is what
ultimately may lead to legalization.
