Most of the folks who talk about supporting the troops wish these guys would just man up. A young man goes off to war and comes home with a shattered psyche and a thousand meter stare.

From the article General use of cannabis for PTSD Symptoms

Another fascinating discovery, one with implications for PTSD, is that the cannabinoid system is integrally related to memory, specifically to memory extinction. Memory extinction is the normal, healthy process of removing associations from stimuli. Dr. Mechoulam explained that an animal which has been administered an electric shock after a certain noise will eventually forget about the shock after the noise appears alone for a few days. Mice without cannabinoid systems simply never forget - they continue to cringe at the noise indefinitely.
