Home Front - psychological and physical readjustment of war veterans

Saw this interview on CNN with film director Richard Hankin (never heard of him before) and Iraq war veteran Jeremy Feldbusch. Connection? Jeremy stars in a movie directed by Richard on how Iraq war veterans cope injuries upon their return. Now, I am not exactly a supporter of the war, but think about this - Jeremy was doing his job, a dangerous one at that and his life has changed forever in the course of performing his job. Not just Jeremy's but his entire family's. There is more abt this powerful movie in the attached article, but it got me thinking once again on an earlier post in this blog under "an ethical dilemma" about the alternatives to war - targeted assassinations and exile!

Also, what abt war veterans who are not lucky enough to have families (and the financial resources) to support them? Think of the many Indian soldiers coming back from war to find a nation glued to TV screens that show movies and cricket matches!
