Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is shortly known as PTSD. Around 2-5 percent soldiers of non-combat deployment and 7 percent soldiers of combat deployment in the U.K. are reported to be afflicted by PTSD. But the case is stupefying in case of the U.S. soldiers. The percentage is 21 to 29 percent. Even the general people of the U.S. measuring 7 percent suffer from PTSD.

The Department of Affairs has cured 11 percent of the sufferers returned from Afghanistan and 20 percent of them who returned from Iraq.  The cause is the immaturity a soldier or inexperience in the battle field. The U.S. soldiers reported to suffer from PTSD are generally from the reserve army. The U.K. soldiers are more practiced, especially those who are from Airborne Personnel and Marines. Besides, the U.S. soldiers are strained; they have to fight longer periods than that of others.

The U.K applies TRiM (Trauma Risk Management) and TLD (Third Location Decompression) to relieve her soldiers of the after effect of war. They truly help. TLD offers a refreshment trip of 36 hours far away from the battle land before returning home. Refreshment cures almost all sort of mental disorder. May be the American soldiers should be provided with some more refreshment and less bloodshed to decrease the PTSD afflicted.

    Jesse Ventura Chris Kyle Lawsuit Concluded – Jesse Wins

    The Jesse Ventura Chris Kyle lawsuit has been the talk of the town these last couple of days ever since a jury awarded Jesse $1.8 Million in damages from the slain Navy SEAL sniper’s estate. The jury decided yesterday, July 29th in Minnesota.

    The lawsuit started when Chris Kyle said in his book that he punched Jesse Ventura out in a bar in 2006 when Kyle claimed that Jesse said the SEALs “deserved to lose a few” as it relates to combat.

    There is a lot of interest in this case for two main reasons. First, both men are celebrities in their own right. Chris Kyle, an author, a famous SEAL sniper, a 2 time Silver Star recipient for valor, a five time Bronze Star recipient for valor, and who is no longer with us. Chris was killed at a gun range by Eddie Ray Routh, a Marine who Kyle was helping to recover from PTSD. Jesse Ventura is a former Navy SEAL, professional wrestler, Minnesota governor, an author, and a TV show host. Both men have other accomplishments, but these are the main ones.

    Celebrity infighting is the main reason for interest in this case. Yet another major reason is this is probably the first time the public has seen a case where a man’s widow has to pay for her late husband’s lawsuit for defamation. Sure there may be examples, but none so prominent as this one. And people are upset at Ventura for going through with it. Others are glad Jesse won because it clears his name, which is something that is priceless in the public eye. It is very apparent that the court of public opinion is with the Kyle’s widow.

    Here are several prominent responses to the Jesse Ventura Chris Kyle Lawsuit:
