The AMERICAN SNIPER movie has raised the profile of media coverage of what can happen to soldiers when they return to the United States from their war deployments. The real-life trial of Eddie Ray Routh in the American Sniper case has also been heavily reported and highlighted the issue of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which all involved in the shooting reportedly suffered from. In this revealing Media Mayhem interview, veteran advocate Jack Downing of We Soldier On discusses issues facing PTSD veterans and irresponsible reporting by the media.
