For veterans of Iraq War, a tough return

Veterans who served in Iraq have come home to face a host of challenges - from physical and mental health problems, to a difficult economic climate, to struggles in reconnecting with civilian life.

Writes the Washington Post:

The long conflicts, which have required many troops to deploy multiple times and operate under an almost constant threat of attack, have exacted a far more widespread emotional toll than previously recognized by most government studies and independent assessments: One in two say they know a fellow service member who has attempted or committed suicide, and more than 1 million suffer from relationship problems and experience outbursts of anger -- two key indicators of post-traumatic stress.
