Don't We Owe 'em Something?


Take one War. Why is it that somewhere between 400,000 and 1.5 million vets ended up suffering to some degree with PTSD after experiencing Vietnam? I use this as an example because the figures have come home to roost.

 Currently there are somewhere between 160 and 180,000 veterans caught up in the Justice System.

 Have we used these folks for nasty purposes and then abandoned them, or, worst yet, labeled them as vile criminals?



Just one recent example . . .
regarding my motivation for writing The Bee Killer.
