As Devestating as coming home Maimed, Physically and or Mentally, U.S. Military Troops come home to a relatively safe society, after serving their numbered months tours. Multiple tours, adding months more, just adds more to the stress factors that bring about the Mental Disorders/Memories/Nightmares etc.. This Country has never Fully taken care of it's Veterans, especially after WWII some of which were also lost to their Physical/Mental experiances as time went on. This Country 'Better Be Prepared' for those returning from these conflicts, Iraq/Afganistan, for the lenghts of tours, and the numbers of same, have increased, thus so will the Suffering!!

The citizens of the countries invaded don't have that option, They Are Home! They cannot escape the devestation, death and destruction around them for it comes without warning at any time, any place, for how ever long the conflict lasts and long after! The majority go untreated for that they have experianced, if they survive, and in todays World may lash out with the Hatreds that have grown within them, or lead lives Haughted by their ever growing Nightmares leaving shells of what they might have been to their Societies!!
