Stop Loss



-

I recently saw the trailer for Stop Loss. My friend Jason is a counseling student at Covenant Seminary and is interested in specializing in men with post-traumatic stress disorder. He was in Iraq for around a year and a half. He accounts for many of the issues related to men as being a direct or indirect result of PTSD. I'm glad awareness is being raised, so that military people with it can get help.

  1. i was watching the news tonight and apparently, the military is finding that something like 40% of soldiers who at some time during their service black out due to going unconcious attempt suicide later. obviously, this they link it to PTSD. anyways, i thought of jason while i watched it. when does the movie come out? i want to see with some of our HS kids and then have a discussion afterwards.
