  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

The Mental Toll On The Troops In Iraq

1 decade 5 years 8 months 1 week ago

...and how the military deals with it. Apparently they throw drugs at them and send them back for another tour. Recipe for disaster if you ask me.

3+ years after his deployment, and I'm still getting punched in the jaw or kicked in the back at night because of nightmares. It may be treatable during the daytime, but nightmares don't go away. Sleep aids reduce dreaming significantly, but they can't completely shut it off.

Also, don't think for a second that half the guys over there that aren't medicated are fine, either - particularly if it's not their first deployment. One of the symptoms of PTSD is survivor guilt - for many, that means volunteering to go back.
