"Operation Warrior Wellness is a national wellness outreach to help 10,000
veterans overcome Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) through
Transcendental Meditation," writes Russell. "Staggering statistics from
the Veterans Administration show that more soldiers are dying from the
trauma of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan than at the hands of enemy
combatants. Over 400,000 veterans have been diagnosed with PTSD since
2001, with 18 veterans committing suicide each day.

"For me, meditation put a distance between myself and addiction. It saved
my life."




Transcendental Meditation might help alcohol and drug addicts, but ......


I applaud his trying to help though..... and bringing the plight of
soldiers with PTSD into the headlines.

First Law of Leftist Debate.......
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.
