My Images for critique demonstrate the harsh realities of being a War Vet. Combat Veterans are more
likely to have substance abuse issues, deal with Psychological issues related to service, and twice as
likely to commit suicide. When the welcome home banners, and the yellow ribbons are removed that's
when reality sets in. No combat vet is really prepared for the war at home. How can you obtain, and
maintain a gain full occupation when you have spent at least the last four years of your life preparing
for combat, or have been to war at least one tour. Its funny how when you volunteer to do a job no one
else could not imagine themselves doing you are a hero. When you can not conform, or adapt back to
society's standards because of that job, you then become labeled as "unproductive". Where is the real
hero?, who is really getting screwed?
