The Army's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Mild Brain Injury Program (Photo by U.S. Army Medical Department)Returning From Iraq
Like other wars, PTSD is common among soldiers returning from the war in Iraq. Find out what’s unique about this war for returning veterans. Also, Ronald Brownstein compares partisanship in the U.S. to a second civil war. CUNY starts a recruiting program specifically for veterans; and we open our phones for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to talk about what it was like to come home. Also, we dig into the alleged connections between Bernard Kerik and organized crime. And finally, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Frank McCourt on his new children's book and memories of Norman Mailer.
