The scale is unbelievable. The Americans get to come home and there is not much help but they are safe in the present if not in their minds.
What about the native populations that do not get to leave or end in refuge camps in semi hostile neighboring countries?
Again these victims are your friends, family and neighbors.
Yesterday, I gave away a couch on craigslist. The guy that came was clearly ex military and had head injury. (After treating as many TBI as I have I can spot it in a second) He told me his roof leaked and ruined all his furniture and landlord won't help. If you pay attention you will see war everyday.
