June is PTSD Awareness Month. You'd think that the fact we are losing more veterans to suicide would at least be among the top stories of the major news sources. You'd think that way if you really thought the major news sources cared. They don't.

At least 22 veterans commit suicide every year. Then there are the number of attempted suicides. Here on Wounded Times you read their stories everyday. Yet when we mention these facts to the average person they are in shock they didn't hear of it before.

So what exactly is June supposed to be raising awareness of? Is it what military brass wants us to know? Is it what politicians want us to think they are doing? What exactly is the point? When we see all the suffering grow and spread every year, we are more aware of the fact that the big news stations just don't care.
