US Marines 'Traumatised'
By Fallujah Assault
12-19-4

NEAR FALLUJAH, Iraq (AFP) - Nearly six weeks after US marines stormed the rebel enclave of Fallujah, military psychologists are still seeing a steady stream of service personnel traumatised by the long days and nights of ferocious street fighting.

In the macho culture of the US Marine Corps, it is sometimes hard for its personnel, male or female, to admit they have a problem and some try to ride out the symptoms, only seeking help after weeks of suffering in silence.

That does not suprise me. War is horrific no matter how "tough" one thinks they are. I think a lot of Marines and Soldiers realize the reality of what is going on. Lots of fighting, shooting etc and not much real progress being made. I think most of them realize this war is not as easy as American government thought it was going to be and are starting to realize they are being hurt and killed for a fruitless endevour that has no end in site.
