How can we possibly expect any man or woman to come back from overseas, from Afghanistan or any of the services they're doing, and not be suffering from operational stress injuries? Why don't we automatically assume that everybody is going to need some degree of assistance to resettle? I think we're doing it backwards. We wait for them to be identified. Why wouldn't we assume that anybody who's gone through that experience is coming back greatly affected, to one degree or another?
