The thing is, one of the key things about this injury is the first word in it, “post-”. The numbers probably ramped up radically after Dr. Passey put his study out. It would be great if it were “pre-”, because then we could screen them so they wouldn't get this illness, but it's “post-”, and the post can come six months, four months, ten months, four years, five years after. I spoke to a veteran who was 82 years old, who was having the symptoms of PTSD because he was now retired, sitting on his front porch, and his memories were coming back. He told me, “Fred, the shadows are starting to have faces”. That's 65 years after the war. So this is the gift that keeps on giving.
So however we maintain that knowledge, hopefully as the operational trend may die down that expertise doesn't drift off or we start saying let's not pay attention to it because it's not the flavour of the day. That's what we've always been afraid of: once we get out of an operational tempo that's not as heavy as it is now, the concern and the focus over mental health within the military will drift off. So it has to be maintained, I would say.
