Does anyone need

another report to tell them soldiers embrace alcohol as a self-medication?

Nearly twice as many US army soldiers today are either alcoholic or engage in damaging behavior such as binge drinking than six years ago, and experts blame the rise on repeated tours in war zones.

Admiral Michael Mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, told the national daily that he believed eight years of combat were at least partially responsible for the rising number of US soldiers with alcohol disorders.

Actually, I'm sure the young college Republicans and the 'Never Served and Never Will' Chicken Hawk Pro Human Party of Deferments does need to be told this since they have no idea what a combat tour is...

Why hasn't there been an upswing in enlistment by the Republicans, the Toxic Fox Commentators, the Neocons and their children in order to be sure to be front and center in the liberation of Iran for which they are cawing for daily.
