U.S. Soldiers Can Defeat Enemies But Inner Demons are Harder to Fight Against

Americans are aware of the courageous men and women who put their lives' at stake to protect us and this country. They face death on a daily basis and understand their job of fighting enemies. What if they can't conquer their own inner demons? According to "Project Censored", more U.S. soldiers have died from a self-inflicted death than from combat. Why is it on the list of the top 25 censored stories of 2010-2011? In order to find a solution, Americans must first be aware of the statistics in order to get a better understanding of potential causes and solutions for PTSD. I chose this topic because about a year ago I watched producer James Gandolfini's documentary " Wartorn:1861-2010", which focuses around soldiers from the Civil War and current U.S. soldiers facing PTSD.
