That's the real problem, I believe. It makes people distrustful and reclusive, and fearful of normal social relations. As the video said, once you get past the PTSD, the vets have a lot of discipline and other great qualities that are valuable to employers.

Also, I was watching another video on this site last night in which Cenk Uygur of TYT broke down the massive military budget. It turns out that only 1% of it was spent on veterans' services. Just think what we could do if we raised that figure by just one percentage point to double it! We oughta be able to do that as a nation.
