IRAQ VETERANS AGAINST THE WAR
"Operation Recovery"

Large portions of our military members and veterans are suffering from
Military Sexual Trauma (MST), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and/or
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) yet their right to heal is violated on a mass
scale. Traumatized service members have been forced to deploy against the
best interest of their health and well being throughout the Global War on
Terror. Now with the return of troops from Iraq, the military is trying to
skirt it's responsibilities to care for service members. Military leaders
and service providers are giving inadequate care, pushing improper
diagnoses, and forcing thousands of service members to leave the military
with no care or benefits by pursuing punitive discharges for troops who
really need medical and mental health care. Members of IVAW will share about
these realities and what is needed today.
