After Afghanistan

Greater than 28% of soldiers are returning from Afghanistan with one or more mental health problems. Numbers are on the rise.

Listen to this shocking and sad story of how the Canadian Military is handling it on CBC's "The House".

Note: The show starts at 18:15 mins on Realplayer and runs for 10 mins.

Interestingly, if I even TALK to someone who has seen a dead body at work I get critical incident stress debriefing...poor soldiers.

There are endless articles on Canada in Afghanistan. Here are a couple:
