Soldiers receive preparation in order to go over there. I went to Afghanistan two weeks ago. I realized that we are all traumatized to different degrees. My feeling is that the first stage of the trauma soldiers go through happens when they come back. Our families ought to be made aware of that. When soldiers are wounded over there, someone has to look after them immediately, not only physically, but mentally too.
In my son's case, the only care he got was physical. They gave him the best care possible, except psychologically.
