Collaborative Post¦ The US military every year recruits around 175,000 young American citizens. The proposed pitch in recruitment is the promise to take care of all those that choose to serve their country, but the question is, is this promise being fulfilled? And to what extent are veterans suffering currently in the US? The humungous long term effect that war has on veterans is absolutely monumental and almost impossible to put into words. The real extent of the damage is clear, with so many post-military issues with veteran’s mental health- that’s not even getting into the veterans that come home with a lifelong physical injury. Besides the immensely difficult time that veterans have readjusting to normal life after coming home, some even suffer veterans’ elder abuse.
