War changes people. Some aren't affected too deeply. Some are able to assume "normal" lives (assuming that life in America is normal) with counseling. Some are permanently scarred, and then manifest their sickness in different ways.

So far this year, there have been more suicides than combat deaths among the war fighters of America and England.
