DOD does not know how to use what they have to fight PTSD

Department of Defense does not know how to use what they have to fight and defeat PTSD. Two videos prove that. One from 2011 with Medal of Honor Heroes. The other from PBS in 2012.

In 2011 the Department of Defense produced a video with Medal of Honor Heroes talking about PTSD and coming home.

Lt. Col. Bruce Crandall, MOH Vietnam, Battle of IaDrang 1965

Sgt. 1st Class Ronald Rosser, MOH Korea 1952

CWO4 Hershel Williams, MOH Iwo Jima 1945

Col. Charles Murray Jr., MOH WWII France 1944 and passed away the same year this video was made, August 12, 2011.

As of right now it has only been view 314 times.

Shell shock, battle fatigue, PTSD - names may change, but the combat stress that many service members face remains the same. Warriors from past wars - including Medal of Honor recipients - understand that reaching out and talking about the psychological effects of combat can make a real difference.

This is from PBS NOW March 31, 2012 with 10,304 views.
