Here's one for the 'man up, bucko' crowd...

The army is reporting 16% of troops coming back are being tagged as victims of post-traumatic stress - you know, the 'my best friend blew up' or 'i shot a 3 yr old' stuff... things people probably need some time to work out if they're going to get any semblance of themselves back from the warzone.

Well the army has a new answer to all that. In the face of lowered recruiting standards and questionable troop levels - the army is enacting a 'face your fears' approach to PTSD. It's as if Frank Burns were in charge.
