this war medic has died from a drug overdose at the age of 31 a couple month ago at his hometown. prior he had already been struggling with drugs, unemployment, ptsd and marital problems. "He just wasn't Joseph. Joseph never came home. Talking to him, he knew he was going to die. His wife, Matina, said: "He was just never the same when he came back, because of all the things he saw."He tried to seek treatment, but it didn't work." the family hoped this story would bring attention to substance abuse and ptsd from the war.

I think his family is right. This seems to be a problem that isn't getting addressed enough and the soldiers aren't getting the help they need for many different reasons. I know they debrief them when they get back, but I don't really think that that's good enough.
