Book excerpt: In this study, VVA has identified three significant issues. 1) From FY08 to FY10, illegal PD discharges continued, including a significant number in war zones, possibly preventing the swift diagnosis and treatment of PTSD or TBI; 2) In several service branches, a decline in PD discharges after congressional and media scrutiny in 2007-08 has been matched by significant numbers of discharges based on an alleged "adjustment disorder" (AD); and 3) Although the number of PD discharges appears to be declining, the military has failed to take meaningful action to review and correct the wrongful discharge of as many as 31,000 service members since 2001.
