Atrocities of Soldier Neglect

A Katie Corwic special on January 30, 2009, focused on a man who was a war hero who returned home with post traumatic stress syndrome, and ended up killing his wife. The man had become addicted to prescription drugs while fighting the war. He begin to drink to block out the nightmares. He continued to ask for help to deal with his demons while he spiraled downward. The military ignored his cries.

He desperately needed mental health therapy to ease him out of the hell going on in his Head. He became irritable and violent until he snapped  and ended up killing his wife. A doctor said, “There is a high number of domestic violence and spousal Homocide by traumatized soldiers returning home from war.” There is a high level of “suicides” from the same post traumatic stress imposed on returning soldiers. Military men and women are trained to Kill, Kill, Kill,. The experience is one of brainwashing. War, with it’s sounds, smells and sights of atrocities, overcome the moral upbringing of humanity. The mind battles with good and evil. The unbearable emotion of guilt is carried over with the freedom of returning back to normal.

The battles in their heads still rage as they try to readjust again. Soldiers need to be PROGRAMED from the mind control they were operating under. It’s like when a diver goes too deep in the sea, and must be put into a decompression chamber to readjust his body functions back to normal. Death can result if this is not done.

We send soldiers into a deep hole of inhumanity, then expect them to come out of it fully intact. Instead of receiving the help they need, they are left on their own to fester in fear and confusion, leading up to killing another human being  without just cause, or killing themselves. The same government who ordered them to kill, will put them in prison for the rest of their lives, for reacting to the torments of war, by  killing a person as the result of their training to kill. Murder is murder, and they get caught up in the confusion of what is right and what is wrong, when forced to jump from one value of life to another.

War is inhumane in itself. When a soldier is tossed into inhumanity by force, it is difficult for the mind to transform back into humanity without traumatic changes taking place. Soldiers need to be placed in a decompression chamber of treatment in order to safely readjust back to normal society. They risk their lives to protect the rights of their country, then they are neglected and denied the treatments they need to return back to the very country that sent them to war in the first place. That is an atrocity of neglect by our own government.
