As if American soldiers sent to fight America’s undeclared wars in Iraq and Afghanistan haven’t suffered enough, now it turns out many are being prescribed powerful, side-effect laden drugs to treat their post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These Big Pharma mind altering concoctions are ineffective and can be downright dangerous.

Multiple studies show around 30 percent of Americans soldiers who have served in combat now suffer from PTSD. It’s not surprising when you consider these facts. Imagine being so young you might still be called a “kid” by some.
