Military Says It Sends Mentally Ill Troops To War
Much credit to the usually awful San Diego Tribune for this excellent article. In it, the military admits that they are rotating soldiers and marines back to Iraq who suffer from mental illness. What's more, the military conceded that these troops were going back to the war theatre while taking psychotropic medication. This is a very odd, troubling and fascinating social experiment. I wouldn't even have a guess as to how it will work out, aside from it being war and war being hell.
