lyrics

P T S D [WORDS]

Lowest form of nationalism is bumper sticker patriotism.

Armchair warriors and their yellow ribbon pride
Bandwagon bolstering a blood-soaked lie

But it’s an old story.

More active duty personnel died by their own hand than combat in 2012.

In September 2014 there were 2.7 million American veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. In 2018 that number only continues to grow. This compared to the 2.6 million veterans who fought in Vietnam.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder:
Prevalence at 14 percent. PTSD—among male and female soldiers aged 18 or older returning from Iraq and Afghanistan—rates ranged from 9 percent to 31 percent one year after deployment. Vietnam veterans also report high lifetime rates of PTSD, ranging from 10 percent to 31 percent. PTSD is the third most prevalent psychiatric diagnosis among veterans using VA hospitals.

50 percent of those with PTSD do not seek treatment.
Out of the half who do seek treatment, they are routinely met with inadequate services.
Despite belief to the contrary, veteran-specific benefits fall short of meeting the needs of veterans and their families, many of whom struggle to meet basic needs even with Department of Veterans Affairs support. More than 3.9 million veterans live paycheck to paycheck—meaning their family incomes are less than twice the federal poverty level, or less than $50K for a family of four.
Blind bumper sticker patriot
So loud when they’re sending kids to die.
Where are you now?

Yeah, yeah. . .Support the Troops. . .
. . .at least until the get home.
