Dear Editor: July 13 The mental health of Marines and soldiers fighting in Iraq and in Afghanistan is the topic of a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study group, led by Charles W. Hoge, MD, showed a post deployment increase in the percentage of infantry troops suffering from a mental disorder. It also showed a higher percentage of troops unwilling to seek treatment for their mental disorders than in the general population. In response to the survey, American Legion Nation Commander John Brieden issued the following statement: It comes as no surprise that mortal combat induces stress disorder and other mental disorders. What might be a surprise to most Americans is that fighting for the proper government investments in those battle. 'who have borne the battle is an Voters should insist that candidates for the presidency and Congress do everything in their power, if elected, to correct five fundamental inadequacies. First, the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system should be funded on a mandatory, rather than a discretionary basis, just like Social Security and Medicare, because a 44 percent increase in funding is overwhelmed by a 134 percent increase in VAs patient population from 1993 to 2003, the year the war in Iraq began. Americas newest veterans will swell the demand. Thus, the VA budget should be calibrated to increase commensu-ratel- y and rather than subsist on increased little who as denial make treatment to of veterans outright as $25,000 a year. Second, Congress should pass provisions in the defense authorization that would improve health tracking for Guard and Reserve troops and authorize counseling in which veterans service organizations may Ricky A.

Fac- tors for Course of PTSD Among Vietnam Veterans, a joint by VA, Columbia University and Amerstudy ican Legion researchers, the U.S. government should fund an even larger study, one that relies on clinical evaluations in addition to questionnaires, that will lead to improvements in PTSD early diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Finally, the Defense Department must initiate policies and procedures to eliminate the stigma that discourages most sufferers of psychiatric disorders from seeking treatment. These policies are the least we can do for the men and women who sacrifice the most in the global war on terror. -- John Calhoun, Manti Winter is the time for comfort, good food and warmth.--Edit- h Sitwell Mt.

Pleasant Police Department on charges of DUI, driving on suspension or revocation Mt. Pleasant, of responsibility. Lots of folks with whom I talk believe that people are not as responsible as they used to be. They claim that young people especially are indifferent and have an attitude of not expecting consequences to their actions, I dont know whether things now really are worse in this department than they were in years past. It kind of seems like it may be true but Im not sure. Its possible that it may be a generational thing. It seems that every generation believes that the upcoming one is irresponsible. in the same vein as the' old I walked to school through the snow uphill in both directions without shoes in my day syndrome. Parents always seem to believe that in their day they were more responsible and acquired more character than their offspring. It may just be that life is different now and the challenges arent the same. Some of whatever level of responsibility I gained in my youth came from doing routine daily farm work and getting speeding tickets. Its Unfortunately, I dont have a farm for my kids to work on. And fortunately there are alternatives to speeding tickets to learn accountability. Ive learned that responsibility can be learned in other ways than existed in my day. Im sure that in some crimes and circumstances receiving a time out in prison is the proper consequence. For some of the rest of us, there will be other consequences for our irresponsibilitys. Well lose money when were careless in our spending and investing. Well burn our hands when we play with fire. And, yes - well continue to get speeding tickets on Highway 89 when we speed and get caught. Consequences exist for our actions. Some of us are still learning that. Some of us are fools. (Only a fool goes to the school of hard knocks twice.) Hopefully well all accept responsibility in our lives. And hopefully well never be irresponsible enough to be on the wrong side of a case with the county attorneys office. able to check out a CD at their local library," says Wayne Klein, the assistant attorney general who represented Utah in the settlement.

(Spoken like I appear In the booking report every other week.) Well, I was just reading the paper and saw your quote and felt that I should just go on the record that, Im the kind of guy who accepts responsibility, I explained. He was still puzzled so I showed him the paper (the other Sanpete paper) where on the front page the weekly featured quote in large font print was a quotation from him. It read, She was not ready to accept responsibility, so we sent her to prison He was surprised to be quoted so prominently in the press, but he finally got my joke. I know very little about the case which the quotation was connected with; but I do know a little bit about responsibility.
