Our military has been fighting for the last 10 years and the burden they are shouldering is unlike anything we have seen before. The political class who voted for these wars have been unable or unwilling to get our troops the care they deserve. This has been a tragedy of epic proportions for the people who have riskecd their lives to serve their nation and depend on treatment when they return.

We will be talking about 2 articles in particular, the first one that deals with a Marine unit that has suffered numerous suicides since the conclusion of their deployment, http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/20/us/marine-battalion-veterans-scarred-by-suicides-turn-to-one-another-for-help.html as well as the conflicts in Afghanistan and the scandals involving the sexual abuse of young boys.http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/09/21/world/asia/us-soldiers-told-to-ignore-afghan-allies-abuse-of-boys.html?_r=0

We hope this show will shed the light of understanding upon the problem within our society when we ask young men and women to go to war.
