Post-traumatic stress soars in U.S. troopsPoor souls. But let's look on the bright side: they certainly inflicted a lot more stress and trauma than they suffered.WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Newly diagnosed cases of post-traumatic stress disorder among U.S. troops sent to Iraq and Afghanistan surged 46.4 percent in 2007, bringing the five-year total to nearly 40,000, according to U.S. military data released on Tuesday.

Wow. Sorry I'm just really enjoying your blog, for a while I was beginning to lose hope that people like you existed in America.
You see I'm from one of those backward, underdeveloped places of the world (Jamaica) that so desperately seek out the calm, loving hands of the free market to combat our socialist tendencies (like wanting healthcare from our government and stuff).
Please tell me there are more like you and that you'll be comandeering the nearest television station to broadcast your message of intelligence to many of the right wing ranters in your country and also to the people of the world.
We desperately need to be reassured that there are still rational Americans out there who haven't been swept up in the tide of jingoism.
