Frontline - "The Soldier's Heart" on PBS now

[SmileyBoy]

It's one I haven't seen yet (I don't know how recent it is); it's about mental anguish among soldiers in Iraq. It's on KFME-TV in Fargo, but I don't know about other affiliates.

Just a heads-up.

2. Maaaaaaaan, You're Lucky!

It's not on until 10:00pm EST here in Atlanta

Don't tell me what happened. Just kidding, I'm sure it's quite sad.

It's the Newest "Frontline" on the Problem of PTSD in the solders coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan, and the fact that * has cut most of the VA Funding for Mental Health treatment.:cry:

Sorry Brothers and Sisters, Support for the troops ENDS when you leave the War Zone.
:hug:

3. How sad

:cry: I feel so bad for them. Bush is responsible for this and he's still screwing them over. :grr: Those soliders, who are still supporting Bush, will come home to a surprise in the veteran cuts. *sigh*

4. Thank you.

I posted a profile a few days ago. For show info you can go to www.pbs.org/frontline.

I'll watch a re-run, my son is playing Halo2 (he's otherwise a good kid).

By the way, the Washington Post runs a chat forum with the producer on the day following a new show's premier. Access info via the link above.

6. The show had stuff that was worst than I thought

They show one of the Soldiers that came back with PTSD was being Ridiculed in the "Army Times" and even on CNN, with really demeaning Graphics. Some of the witnesses said they where calling the guy a "F*cking P*ssy" for asking for help for his PTSD. This guy was 9 years Special Forces. :grr:
:wtf:

7. The sad part is that 'bring-'em-on bush' has no idea what our troops are

going through. He spent his "service" snorting his few brain cells away while daddy's pals bailed him out of trouble.

While he spouts off phrases like "freedom is on the march", our best are being destroyed for nothing.
