Ash Carter: PTSD and the ‘Invisible Wounds of War’ Something We Take Seriously

RUSH EXCERPT:

CARTER: "In this particular case, but PTSD and so-called invisible wounds of war is something we do take seriously. We have to take it seriously. We owe to our wounded warriors, 15 years now, including today and one of the most serious things I do is sign deployment orders and execute orders that send people into harm’s way. So it matters a great deal to me that we take care of wounded warriors and the mental wounds are very real."
TODD: "And do you think we’ve done enough?" 
CARTER: "We keep learning more about how to deal with this kind of illness. We’re going to learn more and we need to do more as we learn more. Absolutely. We owe it for these people."
