Brown, Mathew. Interview by Tom Tarantino. Retired Marine Battles PTSD.      www.cnn.com. CNN, 11 Nov. 2009. Web. 6 May 2010.      <http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/health/2009/11/11/      hm.gupta.hope.for.ptsd.cnn?iref=allsearch>. This video shows me how real      people have to deal with PTSD. Tom Tarantino also talks about how some vets      can deal with it, and also some things that are being done to help vets      with PTSD.  

Goode, Erica. "After Combat, Victims of an Inner War ." www.nytimes.com. New      York Times, 1 Aug. 2009. Web. 6 May 2010. <http://www.nytimes.com/2009/      08/02/us/02suicide.html?_r=2>. This source gives me some insight on how      someone comes to the option of killing themselves if they have witnesed a      traumatic event. I think that because all of these soldiers committed      suicide in one small unit, the others were very shocked and depresseed, and      most likely led to PTSD. And all of these suicides on top of the events      during the war, was to much.  "Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)." www.nativeremedies.com. N.p., 2010.      Web. 6 May 2010. <http://www.nativeremedies.com/ailment/      post-traumatic-stress-disorder-info.html>. This site is very helpful      because it explains the causes and cures for PTSD. It goes into great      detail for everything.  Woodruff, Judy, perf. "Troops' 'Avalanche of Needs' in Treating Traumatic      Stress." Gale Virtual Reference Library. PBS, 11 Nov. 2009. Web. 6 May      2010. <http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/health/july-dec09/      ptsd_11-11.html>. This article allows me to read some experts words      about PTSD in war vets. I think that hearing from PTSD sufferers is      important, but exerts opinions are also important.
