We owe it to these soldiers to help them adjust to being civilians. Not only with mere lip service by having them cornered into lying on the form with regards to questions about their emotions. They should be monitored and followed up the same way a patient is after they have survived a disease or major surgery. After return home, these soldiers should have mandatory, yet confidential mental health screening and treatment. It would be my hope that when a red flag goes up, someone will see it. These young soldiers need our help.
