can u forward this to people especially those in USA, they not asking to stop psychiatric drugging, MFI, is for both but wants alternatives made for people and no forced drugging, as little as possible, they have lots of important articles related to this as well linked, and they are asking that soldiers get more alternatives and support, not just bottles of pills. Personally, been there done that, and caused a lot of damage, I know they work for a lot of people, but they have a lot of dangers, damage for life. Please let them be informed and alternative methods given not just drugs, let them have A CHOICE.

thanks

Big Pharma cashing in on our troops.
Some of these drugs are known to CAUSE suicides.

Signed, and posted this in two groups.
Thank you for this.

People should see the Tommy Lee Jones film, with Susan Sarandon, "The Road to Elah". It is a powerful message film about Iraq veterans, families and suicide and craziness. Few people have seen it, and it sortof sank with little trace.

Petition signed, and I commented that the military is not taking responsibility for the mental illness that they have caused. All military should have mandatory screening to find these problems before it's too late. Thanks for post, Sunshine.
