Pentagon told Committee Mental Health Care Broken
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/military/20061020-9999-2m20mental.html

Scant resources, poor training and staff burnout are frustrating the military's efforts to treat mental illness just as troops and their families need such services the most.

That was just a sliver of the sobering testimony given yesterday to the Pentagon's Task Force on Mental Health, which began two days of public hearings in San Diego to gather information for a report due to Congress next year.

The panel was formed in late spring at the urgings of Sens. Joe the Replug Lieberman and Barbra Boxer, after the San Diego Union-Tribunepublished stories detailing serious mental health issues among Marines at Camp Pendleton and service members nationwide.

Sorry guys had to take a shot at loser Joe
