ANother thoguht, if this is the drugs doing this to them, then I have no feeling for them since they are doing it to themselves. People need to grow up in life, and some just never do - PTSD or not - take drugs - end up on the street. That is what happens and no one can stop this.
Just my thoughts on the subject.

Yup, the military tends to attract unmotivated drug addicts. After all, these people do best in high paced/stress combat environment. That's probably the most likely reason behind the problems many veterans face when transitioning to civillian life.

I don't agree with you for the most part. Most of the military are just the opposite of what you describe. There is a small percentage though that will follow along the lines that you are describing.
