U.S. Soliders and the Struggles They Face Coming Home

American soldiers that are returning back to the states from the war are either coming home injured or not. The ones that are not injured are blessed, but the ones that may have lost a body part or are going through psychological proceedings are going to need some serious support. Do you think that this war is going to give them a hard life to live after what they experienced over in Iraq? I know that there is counseling, and other forms of therapy, but I don't believe that there will ever be a time when they can ever forget. Soldiers who had once the security of a job may no longer exist because of their injuries, and that can put a huge amount of stress on one individual, and for his or her family. So many soldiers are finding themselves in a delima because of their wounds. This is a very big issue, and we really need to do something to help our men. They have fought for this country, and have risked their lives. They deserve to be given suitable jobs with or without injuries because they deserve them.

I agree with that. My husband is one of those soldiers. He wasn't shot or anything; however, he worked so hard for so long with poor medical care that his feet, ankles, and knees are ruined. He was given less than two weeks to get our affairs in order and get out of the military. What's worse is the people that are medically discharged are not given the money to get home on until the trip is almost completed or already over. Causing them to aske family for loans or even a bank if they have time.

I agree with this. Many people that have had experience in the war usually come back with psycological issues. Its hard going over there and killing kids and families, ect. That battle field puts heavy loads on the soilders. Sometimes too much to bare expecially if they come back missing a limb. Its just sad!

A link to the CNN website isn't enough, you need to link to the actual article.
