As the nation pauses to remember its veterans, many are thinking not only of those lost in combat, but also of those who suffer from the invisible and residual injuries left over from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — and the toll they have taken on the men and women who served there. One former Army specialist, Jamuel Breeze, who served two tours in Iraq, was just 18 years old when he deployed for the first time. Breeze is one of many veterans who have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of their war experiences.

I wouldn't make a pimple of the butt of these young men and women serving today! My G-D man, they have long deployments, probably longer than anyone else and multiple deployments keeping them from the family.

When will our Nations leaders learn that all we are doing over there is wasting the youth of our next generation. Our military involvement in that area of the world has done nothing but to destabilize the entire balance of power. There is no clear enemy, as we align with this group and that group and they all hate each other.

I believe our Leaders in Washington need to take a basic course in Middle Eastern/Persian history.

I am a firm believer that deployments create adrenaline junkies. They get hooked on it.
