posttraumatic stress is a real condition that is treatable for many individuals. for some it takes an extremely long period of time and there are disability ratings that come along with that as well. the va is trying to move it forward as it relates to mental health, but i will tell you that the real answer is that until the economy really starts to move, move on a monthly basis and not just on a staggered scale, where we have jobs, that veterans will continue to fight unemployment numbers higher than anyone would expect them to be. unfortunately we have accepted this 7% number to be the new norm and i do not think it is susceptible to anyone but i think you can probably add into the pit since where some are afraid that you may be deployed if you are a reservists or guardsman, that is not what the american public what because the citizen soldiers out there doing jobs for us should be rewarded. not only when they come home, but have the job sitting there for them, and have gainful employment so that they can also provide for their families as well. >> 30% of return

i mean, you know, if you're going to heal somebody from posttraumatic stress, that's going to take a long time, and they're probably not going to, you know, want to be going back again. and they want 'em back into service. and that's not wrong. that's why they're there. so i always remember i was at quantico and talking to the marines down there -- they have six programs that they're trying to, they don't know what works because you don't know the results until 10 years or 15 years downstream. and this one colonel stood up, and he said, he said, but he says -- he was just so frustrated. we're not psychologists, we're marines. you could just see the frustration. it was just, it wasn't what he was built to do. so i think that, you know, anybody who thinks that it's up to the military, they can certainly do better. first of all, the stigma of just asking for help has to get removed. and i think, you know, mandatory counseling would just remove it. you've got to go see the shrink. the israeli army has a psychiatrist at the battalion level. kid says i'm not feeling too good today, is it t
