Many of the young men who are coming back who you're referring to are clearly suffering from PTSD. Sometimes I think that maybe we should just automatically assume that for everybody returning from the experience, let's say, of Afghanistan today, I don't know how they'd not be suffering from PTSD. It would just seem automatic to me. Would we not be better off trying to just say we know our young soldiers are going to come home and they're going to be suffering from that, so we're immediately going to put them into some sort of program for a following year after coming back in order for them to receive the help, even if they don't think they need it, and package it in a way that's it's not help they're receiving, it's just part of the re-establishment of their life here?
