What's really happened to America's soldiers
What's really happened to America's soldiers: Post-traumatic stress disorder, the debilitating mental and social difficulties that face soldiers returning from the battlefield, can be linked to something called "moral injury". All wars oblige soldiers to commit acts that would be outrageous in normal society, and the resulting scars are very common, and understandable. In recent years, however, with the morality of America's wars themselves deeply questionable, healing these scars has become even more difficult. - Nan Levinson (Jul 5, '12)
