Dogs increasingly fight alongside their human comrades in war zones and now more and more canine soldiers are suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, RadarOnline.com has learned.

As the number of dogs in the military has risen over recent years, so has the disturbing side effects that they suffer after coming home, the New York Times reported.

Many four-legged patients are now even seeking medical help from behavior specialists to battle the deep-rooted fear they have after fighting on the front lines, and experts estimate that more than 5 percent of the approximately 650 military dogs deployed by American combat forces are developing canine PTSD.

You’re probably familiar with most of the celebrities who will be competing on the 13th season of Dancing with the Stars (after all, David Arquette, Ricki Lake, and Nancy Grace are all big names), but there’s one person you might not be as familiar with –All My Children actor J.R. Martinez.

So to save you the trouble of googling him (you know you will), here’s some background on him.

Martinez, 28, is an Iraq war vet who was badly injured after the Humvee he was driving hit a land mine while deployed with the Army in Iraq in 2003.

When President Barack Obama gave the order to raid the Pakistan compound Osama bin Laden was hiding at two months ago, he might have saved his own life.

Officials said bin Laden, according to an exclusive ABC News report Friday, was already in talks with Taliban leaders in planning another round of terrorist acts to celebrate the upcoming 10-year anniversary of the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attacks.

Most notably, bin Laden had his sights set on assassinating the president while he was flying in Air Force One or Marine One, his helicopter. U.S. Army Gen. David Petraeus (the soon-to-be CIA director) was also on the late terrorist's hit list, via an air attack as well, according to the network.
