"Two dozen soldiers diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) believe the constant gunfire from the range located beside their transitional housing on the US army base, Fort Benning is aggravating their condition.

Sergeant Jonathan Strickland, a soldier at the base, told the Washington Post that the sounds have increased flashbacks and other memories of his last horrific tour of duty in Iraq."
