1. Excellent job Tom, you remind me of the late Phil Ochs, your "Broken String" metaphor is perfect, as

Were the other words. I am reminded of how shameful our country is towards giving lip service to supporting the troops and not providing them with the very services they've been promised and denied through neglect, morose waiting, or denial of symptoms. The cheap ass ethic of Rummy sadly lives on, this must change. Thanks for posting.

2. Thank you

Thank you drynberg,
When I am counted in the same time zone as Phil Ochs, then I walk a little taller. regarding PTSD, I understand that the Defense Department's own statistics indicate about one out of every four returning vets are living with PTSD... which means that their loved ones are also living with it. Sad.
