Some Troops Not Getting Needed Help

NPR's Daniel Zwerdling talks to several soldiers and veterans at Fort Carson, Colo., who say the Army did not properly handle their mental-health problems. Zwerdling reports:

The Army boasts of having great programs to care for soldiers. The Pentagon has sent therapists to Iraq to work with soldiers in the field. And at Army bases in the United States, mental-health units offer individual and group therapy, and counseling for substance abuse. But soldiers say that in practice, the mental-health programs at Ft. Carson don’t work the way they should.
