How long until we face the reality, how many dramatic stories do we have to listen until we do something about it? I think it's mostly unfair what these soldiers experience, they face all types of mental and physical traumas and I think in their case the drug abuse is justified. They should have free access in drug rehab treatment centers [ SEO link removed -- GH] , they should have social services to help them get back to a normal life if this is even possible.
