Redeploying Mentally Ill Soldiers
I got this video off of YouTube and it is currently one of the top rated videos on the site. I have to agree with one of the comments to this video, that redeploying mentally ill soldiers is arguably torture.

That's an interesting video. I was surprised when I spent a year in Oakland hanging out with homeless guys at how many of them were Veterans. (And had obvious mental illnesses.) Quite a few of the guys in the alcohol and drug addiction recovery program next door were Veterans as well. Most of the Vets we saw served in Vietnam.
It made me wonder what Military service did to them--or what the Military failed to do after their service. It proved to me taht this is a problem that has gone on since way before this war in Iraq or even the Gulf War.
