Every member of the US military should undergo screening for post-traumatic stress disorder upon returning from combat in Iraq, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has recommended.

"I'm at a point where I believe we have to give a mental health screening to everybody to help remove the stigma of raising your hand," Mullen said.
